Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a study of the relationship between pet ownership and physical activity in older adults, 586 subjects reported that they owned a pet, while 1931 reported that they did not. Give a 98% confidence interval for the proportion of older adults in this population who are pet owners. Lower limit Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. Upper limit

p ± z × (1 - p/n)

z = 98%

p = 586/1931

= 0.3034697048

n = 1931

Approximately = 0.3035

Confidence interval =

0.3035 + 2.326 × ( 1 - 0.3035/ 1931)
