Estimates and Sample Sizes
Estimating a Population Proportion
The formula used to calculate a large-sample confidence interval for $p$ is $$ \hat{p} \pm(z \text { critial value }) \sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}} $$ What is the appropriate $z$ critical value for each of the following confidence levels? a. $90 \%$ b. $99 \%$ c. $80 \%$
A Large Sample Confidence Interval for a Population Proportion
Determine the value of the confidence coefficient $z(\alpha / 2)$ for each situation described: a. $1-\alpha=0.90$ b. $1-\alpha=0.95$
