Answer:

99% confidence interval for the population proportion of passing test scores is [0.5986 , 0.9414].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a high school principal wishes to estimate how well his students are doing in math.

Using 40 randomly chosen tests, he finds that 77% of them received a passing grade.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

                          P.Q. = \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion of students received a passing grade = 77%

           n = sample of tests = 40

           p = population proportion

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion test statistics.</em>

So, 99% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-2.5758 < N(0,1) < 2.5758) = 0.99  {As the critical value of z at 0.5%

                                           level of significance are -2.5758 & 2.5758}  

P(-2.5758 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 2.5758) = 0.99

P( -2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < {\hat p-p} < 2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.99

P( \hat p-2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < p < \hat p+2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for p</u> = [\hat p-2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } , \hat p+2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }]

 = [ 0.77-2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.77(1-0.77)}{40} } } , 0.77+2.5758 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.77(1-0.77)}{40} } } ]

 = [0.5986 , 0.9414]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for the population proportion of passing test scores is [0.5986 , 0.9414].

Lower bound of interval = 0.5986

Upper bound of interval = 0.9414

Step-by-step explanation:

Range = {-2(-2) - 5, -2(-1) - 5, -2(1) - 5, -2(2) - 5} = {4 - 5, 2 - 5, -2 - 5, -4 - 5} = (-1, -3, -7, -9}
