Multiple Choice
According to the Gallup Crime survey, 26% of gun owners are women. From a random sample of 160 gun owners, 26 were female. Which of the following statements is correct?
A) The interval that contains 95% of the sample proportions is 0.225 and 0.295. Because the sample proportion is between these two values, we have support that the proportion of gun owners who are female is 26%.
B) The interval that contains 95% of the sample proportions is 0.225 and 0.295. Because the sample proportion is not between these two values, we do not have support that the proportion of gun owners who are female is 26%.
C) The interval that contains 95% of the sample proportions is 0.192 and 0.328. Because the sample proportion is between these two values, we have support that the proportion of gun owners who are female is 26%.
D) The interval that contains 95% of the sample proportions is 0.192 and 0.328. Because the sample proportion is not between these two values, we do not have support that the proportion of gun owners who are female is 23.6%.
