C. sounds like the most reasonable answer to the question.<span />
We let x be the variable that when 17% is multiply by x it will equal 51.
Convert 17% decimal. To do this, move the % sign two places to the left and make it into a decimal point.
17% = 0.17
Now make our equation 0.17 * x = 51
Divide both sides by 0.17.
x = 300
(2, 8)
Because you cannot divide by 0, which 2 would do to the bottom.
Answer:
B (0.312, 0.364)
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence interval
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 
For this problem, we have that:
1289 randomly selected American adults responded to this question. This means that
.
Of the respondents, 436 replied that America is doing about the right amount. This means that
.
Determine a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all the registered voters who will vote for the Republican Party.
So
, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
The lower limit of this interval is:

The upper limit of this interval is:

The 95% confidence interval is:
B (0.312, 0.364)
