In the article “Fluoridation Brushed Off by Utah” ( Associated Press, August 24, 1998), it was reported that a small but vocal minority in Utah has been successful in keeping fluoride out of Utah water supplies despite evidence that fluoridation reduces tooth decay and despite the fact that a clear majority of Utah residents favor fluoridation. To support this statement, the article included the result of a survey of Utah residents that found 65% to be in favor of fluoridation. Suppose that this result was based on a random sample of 150 Utah residents. Construct and interpret a 90% confidence interval for p, the proportion of all Utah residents who favor fluoridation. Is this interval consistent with the statement that fluoridation is favored by a clear majority of residents?
