Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all voters in the state who favor approval is (0.4384, 0.5050).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 865, \pi = \frac{408}{865} = 0.4717

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4717 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.4717*0.5283}{865}} = 0.4384

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4717 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.4717*0.5283}{865}} = 0.5050

The 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all voters in the state who favor approval is (0.4384, 0.5050).

How manys days makes a leap year?​
dem82 [27]

Answer: In an ordinary year, if you were to count all the days in a calendar from January to December, you'd count 365 days. But approximately every four years, February has 29 days instead of 28. So, there are 366 days in the year. This is called a leap year.
