Answer:

0.1352 ± 0.1516

Step-by-step explanation:

The best estimate of the population is calculated as:

P = x/n

P = 717 / 500

P = 0.1434

The best estimate of the population is 0.1434

The value of margin of error is calculated as:

Z-critical value = 90%, Confidence = 0.1434

E = Z(c) * [tex]\sqrt{P(1-P)/n}[/tex]

E = 1.645 * [tex]\sqrt{0.1434(1-0.1434)/5000}[/tex]

E = 0.0082

A 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of returned survey is:

90%CI = P ± E

90%CI = 0.1434 ± 0.0082

90%CI = 0.1352 ± 0.1516
