Question

The FBI wants to determine the effectiveness of their 10 Most Wanted list. To do so, they need to find out the fraction of people who appear on the list that are actually caught. Step 2 of 2 : Suppose a sample of 897 suspected criminals is drawn. Of these people, 322 were captured. Using the data, construct the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of people who are captured after appearing on the 10 Most Wanted list. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Answer 1

The answer is "0.359"

Explanation:

Throughout the given question, in the sample of 897 suspected offenders were identified, 322 have also been convicted. So, the estimate of the population of individuals caught and been on the ten most attractive lists is then estimated:

`\to (322)/(897) = 0.3589743.. \approx 0.359`
