⦁ In a simple random sample of 1219 US adults, 354 said that their favorite sport to watch is football. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football.

95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football is [0.265 , 0.316].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a simple random sample of 1219 US adults, 354 said that their favorite sport to watch is football.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football is given by;

        P.Q. = ~ N(0,1)

where, = proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football in a sample of 1219 adults =

           n = sample of US adults  = 1291

           p = population proportion of adults

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at 2.5%

                                                    significance level are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < < 1.96) = 0.95

P( < < ) = 0.95

P( < p < ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for p = [ , ]

                         = [ , ]

                         = [0.265 , 0.316]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adults in the United States whose favorite sport to watch is football is [0.265 , 0.316].
