Answer:

0.339 < p < 0.461

Explanation:

Given data:

confidence interval is 92%

Randomly selected adults = 329

Total number of adults is 763

[tex]\alpha = 1 - 0.92 = 0.08[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\alpha}{2} = \frac{0.08}{2} = 0.04[/tex]

for alpha = 0.04

z value is = 1.75

[tex]p = \frac{329}{763} = 0.43[/tex]

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

[tex]= 0.43 \pm 1.75 \tiimes \sqrt{\frac{0.43  \times0.57)}{763}[/tex]

[tex]=0.43 \pm 0.031[/tex]

0.339 < p < 0.461
