A political action committee wanted to estimate the proportion of county residents who support a change to the county leash law. They took a random sample of 600 county residents and found that the proportion who wanted to change the law was 33% with a margin of error of +/- 4% (with 95% confidence). This implies:_____

a. If we took another sample of 600 residents the sample proportion would definitely be between 29% and 37%.
b. If we take many other samples from this population 95% of them will have a sample proportion that is between 29% and 37%.
c. We can not conclude anything about the population parameter since this is only a sample.
d. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 29% and 37%.
e. There is a 95% chance that the true parameter is 33%.

Answer:

d. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 29% and 37%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Meaning of a confidence interval:

A x% confidence interval being between a and b means that we are x% sure that the true population proportion is between a and b.

In this question:

Sample of 600, proportion who wanted to change the law was 33% with a margin of error of +/- 4% (with 95% confidence). This implies:

From the concept of confidence interval above, the correct answer is:

d. We are 95% confident that the true proportion of county residents who want the law changed is between 29% and 37%.
