Question

A survey of 500 randomly selected adults found that 57% say that they would take a ride in a fully self-driving car. The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all adults who would take a ride in a full self-driving car is found to be (0.5266, 0.6134). Can we conclude that the majority of all adults would take a ride in a fully self-driving car?
Yes; Since the confidence interval limits are both greater than 50%, we can reasonably conclude that more than half of all adults would take a ride in a fully self-driving car.

No; The data does not include all adults, so we cannot make a conclusion about the population.

No; The confidence interval limits are not large enough to determine that a majority rely only on cellular phones. The proportion would need to be much greater than 50%, and the one above is only slightly larger.

Yes; Since the proportion of adults who said yes is 57%, and this is higher than 50%, we can conclude that a majority would take a ride in a fully self-driving car.

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes; Since the confidence interval limits are both greater than 50%, we can reasonably conclude that more than half of all adults would take a ride in a fully self-driving car.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The sample size is  n =  500

     The sample proportion is  $\r p = 0.57$

     The  95% confidence interval is (0.5266, 0.6134)

Looking at the 95% confidence level interval we see that the sample proportion is within the interval and given that the confidence interval limits are both greater than 50%, we can reasonably conclude that more than half of all adults would take a ride in a fully self-driving car.
