An automotive manufacturer wants to know the proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic. Step 2 of 2: Suppose a sample of 897 new car buyers is drawn. Of those sampled, 304 preferred foreign over domestic cars. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic cars. Round your answers to three decimal places.

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic cars is (0.308, 0.37)

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .

For this problem, we have that:

95% confidence level

So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of , so .

The lower limit of this interval is:

The upper limit of this interval is:

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic cars is (0.308, 0.37)

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
