The value of c is 82%.

Given that

A newspaper reporter asked an SRS of 100 residents in a large city for their opinion about the mayor's job performance.

Using the results from the sample, the C% confidence interval for the proportion of all residents in the city who approve of the mayor's job performance is 0.565 to 0.695.

We have to determine

What is the value of c?

According to the question

The sample space n = 100

And the confidence interval is 0.565 to 0.695.

Then,

The confidence interval of the  =all residents in the city who approve of the mayor's job performance is 0.565 to 0.695 is,

[tex]\rm p = \dfrac{0.565+0.695}{2}\\ \\ p = \dfrac{1.260}{2}\\ \\ p= 0.63[/tex]

Then,

The confidence interval is given by,

[tex]\rm Confidence \ interval = p\pm Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}\\ \\ 0.695= 0.63\pm Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.63(1-0.63)}{100}}\\ \\ 0.695-0.63=Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.63\times 0.37}{100}}\\\\ 0.065 = Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.2331}{100}} = 0.065 = Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \sqrt{0.002331} \\\\ 0.065 = Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times 0.4828\\ \\ \dfrac{0.065}{0.4828} = Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \\ \\ Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=1.35 [/tex]

Therefore,

the value of c is.

[tex]\rm Confidence\ interval = P(-1.35

Hence, the value of c is 82%.
