An automotive manufacturer wants to know the proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic. Step 2 of 2 : Suppose a sample of 421 new car buyers is drawn. Of those sampled, 75 preferred foreign over domestic cars. Using the data, construct the 85% confidence interval for the population proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic cars. Round your answers to three decimal places.

The 85% onfidence interval for the population proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic cars is (0.151, 0.205).

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:

Sample of 421 new car buyers, 75 preferred foreign cars. So

85% 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 85% onfidence interval for the population proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic cars is (0.151, 0.205).

question: how many people can she serve?

answer: she can serve 16.66666667 people. so she can only give 16 people a complete serving.
