Solution

Para construir un intervalo de confianza del 99% para la proporción verdadera de familias con niños menores de 18 años viviendo en el hogar, seguimos estos pasos:

  1. Calcular la proporción muestral (p̂): p^=172400=0.43 \hat{p} = \frac{172}{400} = 0.43

  2. Determinar el nivel de confianza y el valor crítico (Z) correspondiente: Para un intervalo de confianza del 99%, el valor crítico Z es aproximadamente 2.576.

  3. Calcular el error estándar (SE) de la proporción: SE=p^(1p^)n=0.43×(10.43)400=0.43×0.57400=0.2451400=0.000612750.0248 SE = \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1 - \hat{p})}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.43 \times (1 - 0.43)}{400}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.43 \times 0.57}{400}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.2451}{400}} = \sqrt{0.00061275} \approx 0.0248

  4. Calcular el margen de error (ME): ME=Z×SE=2.576×0.02480.0639 ME = Z \times SE = 2.576 \times 0.0248 \approx 0.0639

  5. Construir el intervalo de confianza: Lıˊmite inferior=p^ME=0.430.06390.3661 \text{Límite inferior} = \hat{p} - ME = 0.43 - 0.0639 \approx 0.3661 Lıˊmite superior=p^+ME=0.43+0.06390.4939 \text{Límite superior} = \hat{p} + ME = 0.43 + 0.0639 \approx 0.4939

Por lo tanto, el intervalo de confianza del 99% para la proporción verdadera de familias con niños menores de 18 años viviendo en el hogar es aproximadamente (0.3661, 0.4939).
