A 98% confidence interval for a population proportion is given as 0.393 < p < 0.555. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.
(a) Calculate the sample proportion. p̂ =
(b) Calculate the margin of error. E =
Solution :
given that
Lower confidence interval = 0.393
Upper confidence interval = 0.555.
(a)
Point estimate = = (Lower confidence interval + Upper confidence interval ) / 2
= = (0.393+0.555.) / 2
Point estimate = =0.474
(b)
Margin of error = E = Upper confidence interval -
=0.555-0.474
Margin of error = E = 0081.
