Questions
A polling firm samples 600 likely voters and asks them whether they favour a proposal involving school bonds. A total of 330 of these voters indicate that they favour the proposal.Estimate the true population proportion of voters who do not favour the proposal with a 99% level of confidence.

Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
600 - 330 = 270
:
sample proportion of voters who do not support proposal is 270/600 = 0.45
:
standard error(SE) of the proportion = square root(0.45 * (1-0.45) / 600) = 0.0203
:
margin of error(ME) = critical value(CV) * SE
:
alpha(a) = 1 -(99/100) = 0.01
:
critical probability(p*) = 1 -(a/2) = 0.995
:
CV is expressed as a z-score with the associated p*, NOTE we use z-score since the sample size is > 30
:
CV = 2.58
:
ME = 2.58 * 0.0203 = 0.0524
:
***************************************************************************
99% confidence interval is sample proportion + or - ME = 0.45 + or - 0.0524, (0.3976, 0.5024)
