Random sample found that forty percent of 100 Americans were satisfied with the gun control laws in 2017. Compute a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of Americans who were satisfied with the gun control laws in 2017.

The 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of Americans who were satisfied with the gun control laws in 2017 is (0.274, 0.526).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .

For this problem, we have that:

99% confidence level

So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of , so .

The lower limit of this interval is:

The upper limit of this interval is:

The 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of Americans who were satisfied with the gun control laws in 2017 is (0.274, 0.526).

your welcome haha, this is the best place to find answers
