Question 1 of 20
 1.0 Points
Accepted characters: numbers, decimal point markers (period or comma), sign indicators (-), spaces (e.g., as thousands separator, 5 000), “E” or “e” (used in scientific notation).
NOTE: For scientific notation, a period MUST be used as the decimal point marker.

Complex numbers should be in the form (a + bi) where “a” and “b” need to have explicitly stated values.

For example: {1+1i} is valid whereas {1+i} is not. {0+9i} is valid whereas {9i} is not.

A marketing research consultant hired by Coca-Cola is interested in determining the proportion of customers who favor Coke over other soft drinks. A random sample of 400 consumers was selected from the market under investigation and showed that 53% favored Coca-Cola over other brands.

Compute a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of people who favor Coke. Place your LOWER limit, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the first blank

Question 20 of 20
 1.0 Points
In general, increasing the confidence level will narrow the confidence interval, and decreasing the confidence level widens the interval.
