Solution :
Given that,
n = 1006
x = 324
Point estimate = sample proportion = = x / n = 324/1006=0.322
1 - = 0.678
At 95% confidence level the z is ,
= 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
/ 2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025
Z/2 = Z0.025 = 1.96 ( Using z table )
Margin of error = E = Z/2 * ((( * (1 - )) / n)
= 1.96 (((0.322*0.678) /1006 )
E = 0.029
A 95% confidence interval is ,
- E < p < + E
0.322-0.029 < p < 0.322+0.029
0.293< p < 0.351
