A random sample of 150 mortgages in the state of Mississippi was randomly selected. From this sample, 17 were found to be delinquent on their current payment. Calculate the 98% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of Mississippi mortgages that are delinquent. A random sample of 150 mortgages in the state of Mississippi was randomly selected. From this sample, 17 were found to be delinquent on their current payment. Calculate the 98% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of Mississippi mortgages that are delinquent.

98% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of Mississippi mortgages that are delinquent lie between ( 0.0529 , 0.1731 ) or 5.29% to 17.31%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

A random sample of 150 mortgages in the state of Mississippi was randomly selected. From this sample, 17 were found to be delinquent on their current payment.

Sample size n = 150

Let x be the no of people delinquent on their current payment

Proportion of sucess = =     = 0.113

confidence interval = 99%

= .02

= = 2.326

98% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of Mississippi mortgages that are delinquent =

                                                   =

                                                    =

                                                     =

                                                     =

                                                      = ( 0.0529 , 0.1731 )

correct answer:

b.(19,-2)

120 seems like the most sensible answer.

step-by-step explanation:

if there is only one topping on all caramel apples and there's 120 of them. then all apples should/will be covered in sprinkles. make sense?
