In order to understand reasons why consumers visit their store, a local business conducts a survey by asking the next 100 people who visit their store to fill out a short survey. The business finds that 40 of the 100 people state that the main reason they visited the store was because the store is running a sale on coats that week. A confidence interval is constructed for the population proportion of consumers who would visit the store because of the coat sale. Which confidence interval would be the narrowest? a. 90%
b. 99%
c. 95%
d. 85%

d. 85%

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 .

The margin of error is:

The higher the confidence level, the higher the value of z, which means that the margin of error will be higher and the interval will be wider,

Which confidence interval would be the narrowest?

The one with the lowest confidence level. So the answer is d.

answer is : muchas/tipicas

have a nice day!
