Out of 500 people sampled, 120 preferred Candidate A. Based on this, find a 95% confidence level for the true proportion of the voting population ( p ) prefers Candidate A.
Give your answers as decimals, to three places. < p<
Sample proportion = 120 / 500 = 0.24
95% confidence interval for p is
- z * sqrt((1- ) / n) < p < + z * sqrt ( (1-) / n)
0.24 - 1.96 * sqrt( 0.24 ( 1- 0.24) / 500 < p < 0.24 + 1.96 * sqrt( 0.24 ( 1- 0.24) / 500)
0.203 < p < 0.277
