6 Ramesh plans to carry out a survey in order to find out what adults in his town think about local sports facilities. He chooses a random sample from the adult members of a tennis club and gives each of them a questionnaire.
- Give a reason why this will not result in Ramesh having a random sample of adults who live in the town.
- Describe briefly a valid method that Ramesh could use to choose a random sample of adults in the town.
Ramesh now uses a valid method to choose a random sample of 350 adults from the town. He finds that 47 adults think that the local sports facilities are good. - Calculate an approximate \(90 \%\) confidence interval for the proportion of all adults in the town who think that the local sports facilities are good.
- Ramesh calculates a confidence interval whose width is 1.25 times the width of this \(90 \%\) confidence interval. Ramesh's new interval is an \(x \%\) confidence interval. Find the value of \(x\).
