Question

A​ government's congress has 376 ​members, of which 44 are women. An alien lands near the congress building and treats the members of congress as as a random sample of the human race. He reports to his superiors that a​ 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the human race that is female has a lower bound of 0.085 and an upper bound of 0.149. What is wrong with the​ alien's approach to estimating the proportion of the human race that is​ female?

Answer 1

Answer: The sample is not a simple random sample

Explanation:

Answer 2

Alien does not take the sample because alien choose the data of a Government's congress and congress contain less women.

On the other hand general population contain women greater than congress

So as compared to general population confidence interval is not representative.
