Please explain Do you agree with these conclusions? Why do you agree? Do you disagree with these conclusions? Why do you disagree? Be specific; be clear.

From a survey that Alika conducted for her veterinary medicine class, she found that 365 households out of a total of 1000 households claimed to own at least one dog or cat. Alika constructed a 95% confidence interval in order to predict the population proportion,

Alika concluded that:

1) It was Ok to use the sample proportion p = 365/1000 = 0.365 to construct this confidence interval;

2) The proportion of households in her whole state that would claim to own a dog or cat would be between 33.52% and 39.48%; and

3) She was glad that she had not chosen a larger sample because a sample greater than n = 1000 would have caused the confidence interval to become wider and less precise.
