Answer:

99% confidence interval for the proportion of married young adults aged 18-29.

(0.1779 , 0.2287)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given sample size 'n' = 964

Given data a random sample of 964 young adults aged 18-29, it was found that 196 of them were married

sample proportion

                           [tex]p^{-} = \frac{196}{964} = 0.2033[/tex]

Step(ii):-

99% confidence interval for the proportion of married young adults aged 18-29.

[tex](p^{-} - Z_{0.05} \sqrt{\frac{p^{-}(1-p^{-} ) }{n} } ,p^{-} +Z_{0.05} \sqrt{\frac{p^{-}(1-p^{-} ) }{n} })[/tex]

[tex](0.2033 -1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.2033(1-0.2033 ) }{964} } ,0.2033 +1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.2033(1-0.2033 ) }{964} })[/tex]

(0.2033 -  0.02540 , 0.2033 +0.02540)

(0.1779 , 0.2287)

Conclusion:-

99% confidence interval for the proportion of married young adults aged 18-29.

(0.1779 , 0.2287)
