Beyond the Answer
To construct a \( 95\% \) confidence interval for the percentage of successful challenges, we start by calculating the sample proportion, which is given by: \[ \hat{p} = \frac{x}{n} = \frac{36}{135} \approx 0.2667 \] Next, we calculate the standard error (SE) for the sample proportion: \[ SE = \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1 - \hat{p})}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.2667(1 - 0.2667)}{135}} \approx 0.0415 \] Now, we find the critical value (z*) for a \( 95\% \) confidence level, which is approximately \( 1.96 \). Using this, we can construct the confidence interval: \[ \text{Margin of Error (ME)} = z^* \cdot SE = 1.96 \cdot 0.0415 \approx 0.0815 \] Finally, we calculate the confidence interval: \[ \hat{p} - ME < p < \hat{p} + ME \] \[ 0.2667 - 0.0815 < p < 0.2667 + 0.0815 \] \[ 0.1852 < p < 0.3482 \] Rounding to one decimal place, the \( 95\% \) confidence interval for the percentage of successful challenges is approximately: \( 18.5\% < p < 34.8\% \). Now, comparing this interval with the men's \( 95\% \) confidence interval of \( 22.1\% < p < 38.8\% \): - The intervals overlap, bounding both men's and women's successful challenge rates between 22.1% and 34.8%. This suggests that while a higher proportion of successful challenges can be found in men's matches (up to 38.8%), women also have a notable range of successful challenges (up to 34.8%). Overall, it indicates no strong evidence that one gender is significantly better than the other based solely on these intervals.
