An article a florida newspaper reported on the topics that teenagers most want to discuss with their parents. the findings, the results of a poll, showed that 46% would like more discussion about the family's financial situation, 37% would like to talk about school, and 30% would like to talk about religion. these and other percentages were based on a national sampling of 531 teenagers. estimate the proportion of all teenagers who want more family discussions about school. use a 99% confidence level.

From the information given, the 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all teenagers who want more family discussions about school is (0.316, 0.424).

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

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of $\frac{1+\alpha}{2}$ .

The information given are as follows:

Sample size of n = 531

.Sample proportion of $\pi = 0.37$ .

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.99$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.99}{2} = 0.995$ , so z = 2.575 .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.37 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.37(0.63)}{531}} = 0.316$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.37 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.37(0.63)}{531}} = 0.424$

The 99% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of all teenagers who want more family discussions about school is (0.316, 0.424).

Confidence Interval for the proportion of all teenagers who want more family discussions about school is ( 31.6% , 42.4% )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of teenagers in the sample , n = 531

Percentage of people like more discussion about family's financial situation = 46%

Percentage of people like more discussion about school, $\hat{p}$ = 37%

Percentage of people like more discussion about religion = 30%

To find: Confidence Interval for the proportion of all teenagers who want more family discussions about school

Level of confidence, α = 100 - 99 = 1% = 0.01

We know that

Critical Value for given level of significance, z_c = 2.58

The Standard Deviation,

$\sigma_{\hat{p}}=\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.37\times(1-0.37)}{531}}=0.021$

The Required Confidence Interval is,

$\hat{p}\pm z_c.\sigma_{\hat{p}}=0.37\pm(2.58\times0.021)=0.37\pm0.0542$

=(0.37-0.0542,0.37+0.542)=(0.316,0.424)

Hence the Require confidence interval is ( 0.316 , 0.424 ).

Therefore, Confidence Interval for the proportion of all teenagers who want more family discussions about school is ( 31.6% , 42.4% )
