Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval is (0.46, 0.526), and it does not provide strong evidence against that belief.
<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>A confidence interval of proportions is given by:
In which:
is the sample proportion.
- z is the critical value.
- n is the sample size.
In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of
, so the critical value is z = 1.96.
We have that a random sample of 864 births in a state included 426 boys, hence the parameters are given by:
Then, the bounds of the interval are given by:
The 95% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of boys in all births is (0.46, 0.526). Since the interval contains 0.506, it does not provide strong evidence against that belief.
