Applications of Confidence Intervals

Write a confidence interval problem using one of the options below. For whichever option you choose, gather the appropriate data.

Think about a population proportion that you may be interested in and propose a confidence interval problem for this parameter.

For example, you may like to estimate the population proportion of adults in the US who own SUVs. The data could be that you researched online by looking at a local dealership to find that 142 of the 432 vehicles sold are SUVs. You want to calculate a 90% (or another level) confidence interval for the population proportion. Assume a random sample.
