A yogurt company claims that it prints a free yogurt coupon under a randomly selected 20% of its lids. A loyal customer purchases 85 yogurt cups, and records whether each was a winner. After consuming all 85 cups, he is disappointed to see that only 12 (14.1%) of his yogurt cups contained coupon codes. He performs a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of yogurt cups containing coupon codes, obtaining (0.044, 0.238). What conclusion can the customer draw about the yogurt company’s claim?

The customer can conclude that the company's claim is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of lids that has a free yogurt coupon = 20%

The number of cups a loyal customer purchases = 85 yogurt cups

The number of cups that contained a coupon = 12 (14.1%)

The confidence interval performed = 99% confidence interval for the proportion of yogurt cups containing coupon codes

The interval obtained = (0.044, 0.238)

Therefore, the range of proportion within which the true proportion exists is 0.044 < < 0.238

The range of percentage within which the true percentage exist is therefore;

0.044 × 100 = 4.4%  < × 100 < 0.238 × 100 = 23.8%

Given that the possible true percentage of lids that has a coupon is between 4.4% and 23.8% at 99% confidence level, the customer can conclude that only 12 of his yogurt cup contained coupon by chance and that the company's claim is correct.
