Problem 29Multiple Choice

A survey was conducted among $1500$ city residents to determine if they support a new public park project. Out of the respondents, $1200$ said they support the project, while $300$ said they do not.
a. Construct a $95 percent sign$ confidence interval estimate of the proportion of residents who support the project.
b. Based on your result from part a, can you conclude that the majority of residents support the project?

$0.77975 is less than mu is less than 0.82025$ ; Yes, a majority of residents support the public park project.

$0.77975 is less than mu is less than 0.82025$ ; No, a majority of residents do not support the public park project.

$0.57975 is less than mu is less than 0.92025$ ; Yes, a majority of residents support the public park project.

$0.57975 is less than mu is less than 0.92025$ ; No, a majority of residents do not support the public park project.
