(a) Estimate the value of the population proportion. p = 230/400 = .575
sd = sqrt(.575*.425/400)
(b) Develop a 95 percent confidence interval for the population proportion.
SE = sqrt(pq/n) = sqrt(.575*.425/400) = .0247
ME = 1.96(.0247) = .048
.575 - .048
.575 + .048
CI: (.527, .623)
..........
= CI z = value
90% z =1.645
92% z = 1.751
95% z = 1.96 ***
98% z = 2.326
99% z = 2.576
