Sleep apnea: Sleep apnea is a disorder in which there are pauses in breathing during sleep. People with this condition must wake up frequently to breathe. In a sample of 420 people aged 65 and over, 114 of them had sleep apnea. Part 1 of 3 (a) Find a point estimate for the population proportion of those aged 65 and over who have sleep apnea. Round the answer to at least three decimal places. The point estimate for the proportion of those aged 65 and over who have sleep apnea is Part 2 of 3 (b) Construct a 99.8% confidence interval for the proportion of those aged 65 and over who have sleep apnea. Round the answer to at least three decimal places. A 99.8% confidence interval for the proportion of those aged 65 and over who have sleep apnea is <p< Part: 2/3 Part 3 of 3 (c) In another study, medical researchers concluded that more than 12% of elderly people have sleep apnea. Based on the confidence interval, does it appear that more than 12% of people aged 65 and over have sleep apnea? Explain. Since all of the values in the confidence interval are (Choose one) lesser than/greater than 0.12, then the confidence interval contradict the claim.
