Solutions

Expert Solution

The sample in this study is the adult Americans who believe it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have health care coverage.

The population in this study is the total adult Americans.

The variable of interest in this study is the proportion of adult Americans who believe it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have health care coverage.

It is quantitative.

The point estimate for the proportion of adult Americans who believe it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have health care coverage is equal to = 493/1050.

Statistic is a part of data obtained from a study of a large quantity of numerical data. Hence, this point estimate is a statistic.

Interpretation:

There is 90% chance that the confidence interval we calculated which is (0.444 , 0.495) contains the true population proportion.

Hope this solution will help you to understand. If you are satisfied with the answer then please please give a like to this answer. Thank you.
