The confidence interval would be
0.80\pm0.03.

We use the formula
p\pm z*\sigma_p, where

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{N}}, with p being the sample proportion and N being the sample size.

First we find the z-score associated with this level of confidence:
Convert 95% to a decimal:  95/100 = 0.95
Subtract from 1:  1-0.95 = 0.05
Divide by 2:  0.05/2 = 0.025
Subtract from 1:  1-0.025 = 0.975

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value is associated with a z-score of 1.96.

Since 578/720 said yes, this gives us p=0.80:
\sigma_p=\sqrt{\frac{0.80(1-0.80)}{720}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.8(0.2)}{720}=0.015

This gives us
0.80\pm1.96(0.015)=0.80\pm 0.03

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

5/8 is smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is just a different type of fraction, a 5:8 ratio means 5/8 which is 0.625. A 7:9 ratio equals 7/9 which is 0.777777

Then to compare them you see which is smaller or bigger.

0.77777  is bigger than 0.625 so we know that 0.77777777 which was the 7:9 ratio is the bigger one.
