Answer:
(0.4062, 0.5098)
Explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence interval
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
![\pi \pm z\sqrt{(\pi(1-\pi))/(n)}](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/college/z6qk8t9ly7i0gl9n718ma96yhz3hm4i2sq.png)
In which
Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of
![1 - (\alpha)/(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/high-school/hgqnt8d3z248rgoc7qn0ub2i21g6gtoirm.png)
For this problem, we have that:
356 dies were examined by an inspection probe and 163 of these passed the probe. This means that
and
![\pi = (163)/(356) = 0.458](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/college/57xb6ljxnqnf3vab4pwq1e5a45bbzr2spz.png)
Assuming a stable process, calculate a 95% (two-sided) confidence interval for the proportion of all dies that pass the probe.
So
= 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
.
The lower limit of this interval is:
![\pi - z\sqrt{(\pi(1-\pi))/(n)} = 0.458 - 1.96\sqrt{(0.458*0.542)/(356)} = 0.4062](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/college/10yov8bad4vdi9ipyno186uzqjaco6rwz6.png)
The upper limit of this interval is:
![\pi + z\sqrt{(\pi(1-\pi))/(n)} = 0.458 + 1.96\sqrt{(0.458*0.542)/(356)} = 0.5098](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/mathematics/college/us4cbb9lqu41cjm7sawqv7hi4ss54j95t2.png)
The correct answer is
(0.4062, 0.5098)
