The 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of all consumers who favor the design is (0.52, 0.59).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

For this problem, we have that:

$n = 542, \pi = \frac{301}{542} = 0.555$

90% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.1$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95$ , so Z = 1.645 .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.555 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.555*0.445}{542}} = 0.52$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.555 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.555*0.445}{542}} = 0.59$

The 90% confidence interval for the true proportion of all consumers who favor the design is (0.52, 0.59).
