Question
Use the sample data and confidence level given below to complete parts (a) through (d).
In a study of cell phone use and brain hemispheric dominance, an Internet survey was e-mailed to 2437 subjects randomly selected from an online group involved with ears. 1180 surveys were returned. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the
proportion of returned surveys.

□
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
b) Identify the value of the margin of error E.
E=
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
c) Construct the confidence interval.
Πέρα Π
<p<
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
d) Write a statement that correctly interprets the confidence interval. Choose the correct answer below.
A. One has 90% confidence that the sample proportion is equal to the population proportion.
B. 90% of sample proportions will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
C. One has 90% confidence that the interval from the lower bound to the upper bound actually does contain the true value of the population proportion.
D. There is a 90% chance that the true value of the population proportion will fall between the lower bound and the upper bound.
