A corporation executive wants to estimate the proportion of corporation

1. (Adapted from Exercise 11.10 from Scheaffer et al. (2012)) A corporation executive wants to estimate the proportion of corporation employees who have been convicted of a misdemeanor. Because the employees would not want to answer the question directly, the executive uses a randomresponse technique. A SRS of 300 people is selected from a large number of corporation employees. In separate interviews, each employee draw a card from a deck that has 0.7 of the card marked “convicted” and 0.3 marked “not convicted.” The employee obtains 105 “yes” responses. Estimated the proportion of employees who have been convicted of a misdemeanor and provide a 95% confidence interval.

Hint
Statistics In statistics, the confidence interval defines the probability that a parameter in a sample population will fall between two values for a specific proportion of times. These intervals measure the degree of uncertainty/certainty in sampling techniques. The confidence intervals take any number of probabilities: the common ones are the 95% or 99% confidence levels....
