Answer:

The proportion of sampled students that complete their degree is 0.74.

The lower bound for the 95% confidence interval is 0.659 and the upper bound is 0.819.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 115, \pi = \frac{85}{115} = 0.739

Rounded to two decimal places, the proportion of sampled students that complete their degree is 0.74.

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.739 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.739*0.261}{115}} = 0.659

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.739 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.739*0.261}{115}} = 0.819

The lower bound for the 95% confidence interval is 0.659 and the upper bound is 0.819.
