A random sample of 1001 adults in a certain large country was asked "Do you pretty much think televisions are a necessity or a luxury you could do without?" Of the 1001 adults surveyed, 511 indicated that televisions are a luxury they could do without. Complete parts (a) through (e) below.

Lower bound:
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
Step 1 :Given that the sample size (n) is 1001 and the number of adults who believe that televisions are a luxury they could do without is 511, we can calculate the sample proportion (p̂) as
Step 2 :We can calculate the standard error (se) using the formula
Step 3 :For a 95% confidence interval, the Z-score (Z) is 1.96.
Step 4 :We can then calculate the lower and upper bounds of the confidence interval using the formula
Step 5 :
