Answer:

B.(0.4,0.7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Sample proportion

[tex]\hat{p}=0.55[/tex]

We have to find the range of possible values which   describes best  an estimate for the population parameter.

Estimate  for the population parameter

[tex]\hat{p}\pm Z(SE)[/tex]

A.(0.55,0.6)

Difference between 0.55 and 0.55=0

Difference between 0.55 and 0.6=0.05

Difference between 0.55 and 0.55 is not equal to difference between 0.55 and 0.6.

Hence, option A is wrong.

B.(0.4,0.7)

Difference between 0.55 and 0.4=0.15

Difference between 0.55 and 0.7=0.15

Difference between 0.55 and 0.4 is equal to difference between 0.55 and 0.7.

Hence, option B is correct.

C. (0.4,0.69)

Difference between 0.55 and 0.4=0.15

Difference between 0.55 and 0.69=0.14

Difference between 0.55 and 0.4 is not equal to difference between 0.55 and 0.69.

Hence, option C is not correct.

D.(0.5,0.59)

Difference between 0.55 and 0.5=0.05

Difference between 0.55 and 0.59=0.04

Difference between 0.55 and 0.5 is not equal to difference between 0.55 and 0.59.

Hence, option D is not  correct.
