For example, the Untied States has free press so authors can spread information (whether for good or evil) while other countries like China control their press and access to press outside of their country, making it much harder for citizens to see the world from another perspective rather than what the government is willing to tell them.

Since the United States is a democracy, it is important to allow their citizens to have the right to speech and the press if people want to form opinions of their own.

In a survey of 603 adults, 98 said that they regularly lie to people conducting surveys. Create a 99% confidence interval for th

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The population proportion is estimated to be with 99% confidence within the interval (0.1238, 0.2012).

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for estimating the population proportion by a confidence interval is given by:

$\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha /2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}\times(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

Where:

$\hat{p}$ is the sample's proportion of success, which in this case is the people that regularly lie during surveys,

$z_{\alpha /2}$ is the critical value needed to find the tails of distribution related to the confidence level,

$n$ is the sample's size.

<u>First</u> we compute the $\hat{p}$ value:

$\hat{p}=\frac{successes}{n}=\frac{98}{603}=0.1625$

<u>Next</u> we find the z-score at any z-distribution table or app (in this case i've used StatKey):

$z_{\alpha /2}=2.576$

Now we can replace in the formula with the obtained values to compute the confidence interval:

$\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha /2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}\times(1-\hat{p})}{n}}=0.1625\pm 2.576\times\sqrt{\frac{0.1625\times(1-0.1625)}{603}}=(0.1238, 0.2012)$
