Do pregnant women give birth the week of their due date? A study claims that 21% of the population of all pregnant women actually gave birth the week of their due date. You are a researcher who wants to test this claim, so you will select a random sample of 60 women who have recently given birth. Follow the steps below to construct a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of all pregnant women who gave birth the week of their due date. Then state whether the confidence interval you construct contradicts the study's claim. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)(a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results from the random sample. Number Proportion Take Sample Gave birth the week of due date 15 0.25 Did not give birth the week of due date 45 0.75 Enter the values of the sample size, the point estimate of the population proportion, and the critical value you need for your 95% confidence interval. (Choose the correct critical value from the table of critical values provided.) When you are done, select "Compute". Sample size: 0 Standard error: Critical values Point estimate: 20.005 = 2.576 Margin of error: 20.010 = 2.326 Critical value: 20.025 = 1.960 95% confidence interval: 20.050 = 1.645 Compute Compute 20.100 = 1.282(b) Based on your sample, graph the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of all pregnant women who gave birth the week of their due date. • Enter the values for the lower and upper limits on the graph to show your confidence interval. • For the point (), enter the claim 0.21 from the study. 95% confidence interval: 0.000 1.000 0.500 0 0 1 х 5 ? (c) Does the 95% confidence interval you constructed contradict the claim from the study? Choose the best answer from the choices below. No, the confidence interval does not contradict the claim. The proportion 0.21 from the study is inside the 95% confidence interval. No, the confidence interval does not contradict the claim. The proportion 0.21 from the study is outside the 95% confidence interval Yes, the confidence interval contradicts the claim. The proportion 0.21 from the study is inside the 95% confidence interval. Yes, the confidence interval contradicts the claim. The proportion 0.21 from the study is outside the 95% confidence interval.
