Insurance companies are interested in knowing the population percent of drivers who always buckle up before riding in a car. They randomly survey 415 drivers and find that 286 claim to always buckle up. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion that claim to always buckle up. Use interval notation, for example, [1,5]
We have given,
x=286
n=415
Estimate for sample proportion
Level of significance is =1-0.95=0.05
Z critical value(using Z table)=1.96
Confidence interval formula is
=(0.6446,0.7337)
Therefore, a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion that claim to always buckle up is (0.6446,0.7337)
