The researchers found receding gums, which can lead to tooth loss, in 19 of the participants. (a) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of young adults with pierced tongues who have receding gums. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) ( .138 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. , .503 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. )

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of young adults with pierced tongues who have receding gums is (0.24, 0.506).

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:

95% 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 95% confidence interval for the proportion of young adults with pierced tongues who have receding gums is (0.24, 0.506).
