Furniture Land surveyed 550 consumers and found that 478 were enthusiastic about a new home dècor it plans to show in its store in High Point.
Construct the 99% confidence interval for the population proportion.
Solution :
Given that,
Point estimate = sample proportion = = x / n = 478 / 550 = 0.869
1 - = 1 - 0.869 = 0.131
Z/2 = Z0.005 = 2.576
Margin of error = E = Z / 2 * (( * (1 - )) / n)
= 2.576 * (((0.869 * 0.131) /550 )
Margin of error = E = 0.037
A 99% confidence interval for population proportion p is ,
- E < p < + E
0.869 - 0.037 < p < 0.869 + 0.037
0.832 < p < 0.906
The 99% confidence interval for the population proportion p is : (0.832 , 0.906)

A sample of 49 general practicians (GPs) in Queensland hospitals were surveyed and it was found that the average time they had spent with a patient was 20.2 minutes. It is known the standard deviation, for all GPs in Queensland that spend time with a patient, is 5.6 minutes. The lower limit of a 99% confidence interval for the population mean time (in minutes) spent with a patient is estimated to be _____________ (2 decimal places)
