BLANK #1: Is this a question involving mean or proportion? ***ANSWER "MEAN" OR "PROPORTION" (WITHOUT THE QUOTATION MARKS)***
BLANK #2: What is the LOW end of the estimate ***ANSWER TO 2 DECIMALS...FINAL ANSWER IN DOLLARS OR PERCENT FORM (CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE OPTION FOR YOUR QUESTION)...BE SURE TO INCLUDE UNITS WITH ANSWER...IE. EITHER $12.34 OR 12.34%***
BLANK #3: What is the HIGH end of the estimate ***ANSWER TO 2 DECIMALS...FINAL ANSWER IN DOLLARS OR PERCENT FORM (CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE OPTION FOR YOUR QUESTION)...BE SURE TO INCLUDE UNITS WITH ANSWER...IE. EITHER $12.34 OR 12.34%***
a)
Proportion
b)
Level of Significance, α =
0.05
Number of Items of Interest, x =
15
Sample Size, n = 275
Sample Proportion , p̂ = x/n =
0.055
z -value = Zα/2 = 1.960 [excel
formula =NORMSINV(α/2)]
Standard Error , SE = √[p̂(1-p̂)/n] =
0.0137
margin of error , E = Z*SE = 1.960
* 0.0137 = 0.0268
95% Confidence Interval is
Interval Lower Limit = p̂ - E = 0.055
- 0.0268 = 0.0277
2.77%
c)
Interval Upper Limit = p̂ + E = 0.055
+ 0.0268 = 0.0814
8.14%
