Question

1) The mayor of a small city has suggested that the state locate a new prison there, arguing that the construction project and resulting jobs will be good for the economy. A total of 183 residents show up for a public hearing on the proposal, and a show of hands finds only 31 in favor of the prison project. Construct a 94% confidence interval for the true proportion of residents of that city who favor the prison project, and write a sentence that interprets the interval.

What can the city council conclude about public support for the mayor’s initiative?
