Answer:
a. There is a 95% chance that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is 24%.
b. We believe that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 21% and 27%.
c. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 21% and 27%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Population of the study = 900 county residents
Proportion who wanted to install cameras = 24%
Margin of error = +/- 3%, meaning that actual percentage may stand between 21% and 27%
Confidence level = 95%
Hence we can say that there is a 95% level of confidence that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is 24%
We can also say that the true proportion of residents who wants the law changed is between 21% and 27% because of the margin of error.
We can also say that we are 95% confident that the second option above would happen because of the confidence level.
