Of 565 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of foodstores in different regions of a country and genetically comparedto standard gene fragments that can identify the species, 36% weremislabeled.
a) Construct a 95​% confidence interval for the proportion ofall seafood sold in the country that is mislabeled ormisidentified.
​b) Explain what your confidence interval says about seafoodsold in the country.
​c) A government spokesperson claimed that the sample size wastoo small, relative to the billions of pieces of seafood sold eachyear, to generalize. Is this criticism valid?
​a) What is the 95​% confidence interval?
The 95​% confidence interval is from ___% to ___%.
​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)
Part 2
​b) What does the confidence interval say about seafood sold inthe country?
A.There is a 95​% chance that the true proportion of mislabeledseafood is in the interval.
B.We are 95​% confident that the interval captures the trueproportion of all seafood sold in the country that ismislabeled.
C.In 95​% of samples of seafood sold in the country, theproportion that is mislabeled will be in the interval.
Part 3
​c) Is the government spokesperson's criticism valid?
A.No, until another study produces a different interval,the results should be generalized.
B. ​No, as long as the necessary assumptions and conditions weremet, the results can be generalized.
C.​Yes, the sample size must be at least​ 10% of thepopulation, or the results cannot be generalized.
