SHOW WORK A random sample of 175 people surveyed were asked whether or not they support the death penalty. Seventy-five percent responded that they do not. The standard error of the proportion is __________. Estimate the population proportion with a 95% confidence interval.
Added by Eva G.
Step 1
75 and n = 175, we have: standard error = sqrt(0.75 * (1 - 0.75) / 175) standard error = sqrt(0.75 * 0.25 / 175) standard error = sqrt(0.1875 / 175) standard error = sqrt(0.0010714) standard error ≈ 0.0327 Show more…

Use the normal distribution to find a confidence interval for a proportion $p$ given the relevant sample results. Give the best point estimate for $p,$ the margin of error, and the confidence interval. Assume the results come from a random sample. A $99 \%$ confidence interval for the proportion who will answer "Yes" to a question, given that 62 answered yes in a random sample of 90 people
