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)
