In a random sample of 50 homeowners selected from a large
suburban area, 19 said that they had serious problems with
excessive noise from their neighbors.
a) Construct a 99% confidence interval for P , the population
proportion of the homeowners who have had serious problems with
excessive noise.
b) give one sentence interpretation of your confidence
interval
c) Suppose the researcher decided that he wanted to obtain a
shorter confidence interval than the one calculated above. This
could be accomplished by:
1. Using a lower level of confidence
2. Using a larger sample size
3. using a higher level of confidence
4. Both 1 & 2
