Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the sample size is large (200) and the percentages of managers who have caught salespeople engaging in unethical conduct are relatively high, it is likely that the sample proportion is close to the population proportion. Therefore, it is possible that the 95% confidence interval calculated from the data will not contain the population proportion of managers who have caught salespeople cheating on an expense report.
