Answer: 90% confidence interval would be (0.448, 0.552).

Explanation:

Since we have given that

x = 125

n = 250

So,
\hat{p}=(x)/(n)=(125)/(250)=0.5

We need to find the 90% confidence interval.

so, z = 1.64

So, interval would be


\hat{p}\pm z\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}\\\\=0.5\pm 1.64\sqrt{(0.5* 0.5)/(250)}\\\\=0.5\pm 0.0519\\\\=(0.5-0.0519,0.5+0.0519)\\\\=(0.448,0.552)

Hence, 90% confidence interval would be (0.448, 0.552)
