In a random sample of 400 residents of Boston, 320 residents indicated that they voted for Obama in the last presidential election. Develop a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of all Boston residents who voted for Obama.

C.I =  0.7608   ≤ p ≤   0.8392

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Let consider a  random sample n = 400 candidates where  320 residents indicated that they voted for Obama

probability

= 0.8

Level of significance ∝ = 100 -95%

= 5%

= 0.05

The objective is to  develop a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of all Boston residents who voted for Obama.

The confidence internal can be computed as:

where;

= = 1.960

SO;

= 0.8 - 0.0392     OR   0.8 + 0.0392  

= 0.7608    OR    0.8392

Thus; C.I =  0.7608   ≤ p ≤   0.8392
