Answer:
We are 95% sure that the true proportion of broken pretzels in the 10-ounce bags produced by this company is (0.036, 0.067). Since 0.07 is higher than the upper bound of the interval, it is reasonable to conclude that less than 7% of pretzels in each bag are broken.
Step-by-step explanation:
x% confidence interval:
A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b.
