Which interval is the 95% confidence interval for the percent of all this dentist patients who had their teeth whitened
4.4,18.2
8.4,14.2
5.5, 17.1
7.8, 14.8

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of patient is 80 and out of these patients 9 patients had their teeth whitened.

The confidence interval is 95%.

The probability of patient had teeth whitened is

[tex]p=\frac{9}{80}[/tex]

The z-score for 95%  confidence interval is 1.96.

The confidence limit is defined as

[tex]E=p\pm \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}\times z*[/tex]

[tex]E=0.1125\pm \sqrt{\frac{0.1125(1-0.1125)}{80}}\times 1.96[/tex]

[tex]E=0.043,0.182[/tex]

These values are in percent.

[tex][0.043\times 100,0.182\times 100][/tex]

[tex][4.3,18.2][/tex]

Therefore option 1 is correct.
