8.3 Exercise 1

Avg difficulty 2.5

Suppose that a market research firm is hired to estimate the percent of adults living in a large city who have smartphones. Five hundred randomly selected adult residents in this city are surveyed to determine whether they have smartphones. Of the 500 people surveyed, 421 responded yes - they own smartphones. Using a 95% confidence level, compute a confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of adult residents of this city who have smartphones.
