Alright, so to solve this problem, we need a couple parts.
00:06
So let's do for part a, part a.
00:12
To find the 95 % confidence interval for the proportion of american adults who think the space shuttle program is a good investment for the country, we can use this formula.
00:22
Confidence interval equals p plus or minus c times the square root of p times q divided by n.
00:45
Alright, divided by n.
00:53
Don't know what just happened there.
00:55
Alright, that is again not a good...
00:58
Divided by n.
01:00
P is just the sample proportion, which is 2 thirds in this case.
01:03
Q is 1 minus p.
01:05
N is the sample size, which is 1600 in this case.
01:07
Z is the critical value from the normal distribution for a 95 % confidence interval, which is 1 .96.
01:14
So we plug in these values, we get the following confidence interval.
01:17
0 .667 plus or minus 1 .96 times square root 3 times 0 .667 divided by 1600.
01:35
And we get 0 .623 and 0 .711...
