In a survey of 617males ages 18-64, 396 say they have gone to the dentist in the past year.

Construct 90% and 95% confidence intervals for the population proportion. Interpret the results and compare the widths of the confidence intervals. If convenient, use technology to construct the confidence intervals.

The 90% confidence interval for the population proportion p is ( _ , _ ) 

The 95% confidence interval for the population proportion p is ( _ , _ )

Interpret your results of both confidence intervals.

A) With the given confidence, it can be said that the sample proportion of males ages 18-64 who say they have gone to the dentist in the past year is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval.

B) With the given confidence, it can be said that the population proportion of males ages 18-64 who say they have gone to the dentist in the past year is not between the endpoints of the given confidence interval.

C) With the given confidence, it can be said that the population proportion of males ages 18-64 who say they have gone to the dentist in the past year is between the endpoints of the given confidence interval.
