If n=600 and ˆp=0.1, construct a 95% confidence interval about the population proportion. ROUND ANSWER TO THREE DECIMAL!
Preliminary:
4. Confidence Interval: What is the 95% confidence interval to estimate the population proportion? ROUND ANSWER TO 3 DECIMAL PLACES!!!!!
5. ??????? < p < ???
Yes, n <= 0.05 N
n ( 1 - ) = 600 * 0.1 * ( 1 - 0.1) = 54 >= 10
95% confidence interval for p is
- Z* sqrt [ ( 1 - ) / n ] < p < + Z* sqrt [ ( 1 - ) / n ]
0.1 - 1.96 * sqrt [ 0.1 * ( 1 - 0.1) / 600] < p < 0.1 + 1.96 * sqrt [ 0.1 * ( 1 - 0.1) / 600]
0.076 < p < 0.124
