If your \(x = 542\) (ie the number of “successes” and your \(n = 3611\), this is how you can have R calculate a 90% Confidence Interval for you.
binom.test(x = 542, n = 3611, conf.level = .90)[["conf.int"]]

- 0.181
- Random sample, n x p hat x (1 - p hat) = 341.8 > or equal to 10, and the sample is less than 5% of the population
- Lower bound: 0.168 Upper bound: 0.194
- 90% confident that the proportion of Americans aged 18 or older who have donated blood in past few years is between 0.168 and 0.194
26.
- 0.430
- Random sample, n x p hat x (1 - p hat) = 282.6 > or equal to 10, and the sample is less than 5% of the population
- Lower bound: 0.401 Upper bound: 0.459
- 95% confident that the proportion of working and retired Americans aged 25 or older who have less than 10000 dollars in savings is between 0.401 and 0.459
27.
- 0.519
- Random sample, n x p hat x (1 - p hat) = 250.39 > or equal to 10, and the sample is less than 5% of the population
- Lower bound: 0.488 Upper bound: 0.550
- Yes, it is possible that the population proportion exceeds 60% because it is possible that the true proportion isn’t captured in the confidence interval. This is however unlikely.
- Lower bound: 0.450 Upper bound: 0.512
28.
- 0.750
- Random sample, n x p hat x (1 - p hat) = 192 > or equal to 10, and the sample is less than 5% of the population
- Lower bound: 0.715 Upper bound: 0.785
- Yes, it is possible that the population proportion is below 70% because it is possible that the true proportion isn’t captured in the confidence interval. This is however unlikely.
- Lower bound: 0.215 Upper bound: 0.285
29.
- Lower bound: 0.071 Upper bound: 0.151
- Lower bound: 0.058 Upper bound: 0.164
- As the level of confidence increases, the lenght of interval increases.
