In a survey of 468 registered voters, 152 of them wished to see Mayor Waffleskate lose her next election. The Waffleskate campaign claims that no more than 32% of registered voters wish to see her defeated. Does the 95% confidence interval for the proportion support this claim?

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion is (0.2824, 0.3672). The upper limit of the interval is higher than 32% = 0.32, which means that the confidence interval does not support this claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .

For this problem, we have that:

95% confidence level

So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of , so .

The lower limit of this interval is:

The upper limit of this interval is:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion is (0.2824, 0.3672). The upper limit of the interval is higher than 32% = 0.32, which means that the confidence interval does not support this claim.

25% is the answer
