An assistant to the mayor decides to survey 1,000 randomly chosen people to construct a 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of people who would support the increase in food tax.

Answer:

No, the 10% condition is not met is the answer.

1,000/5,832 is 0.1714, or ~17%, which is more than 10% of the population.

No, the 10% condition is not met.

Ratio:

'Ratio is a term that is used to compare two or more numbers. It is used to indicate how big or small a quantity is when compared to another.'

Proportion:

'A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.'

According to the given problem,

Total number of people in the town = 5832

Number of people to be surveyed = 1000

Ratio of number of people chosen to the total population = [tex]\frac{1000}{5832}[/tex]

                                                                                                 = 0.17

Therefore percentage of people to be surveyed = 0.17 × 100

                                                                         = 17%, which is more than 10%

Hence, we can conclude that the 10% condition is not met.
