1 - Inference for the Binomial Parameter: Population Proportion

RECALL: If np5 and n(1p)5 then
and sd:

^p

is approximately normal with mean

p ( 1 p )
n

One-sample Z-interval for the population proportion, p.

2.

Assumptions needed to check before one can use the one-sample z-interval for :
n ^p 5 ; n(1 ^p ) 5
(1) 100% confidence interval for is:

^p z / 2

^p ( 1 ^p )
n

where Z/2 represents a z-

value with /2 area to the right of it.

The margin of error E is half of the width of the confidence interval:
Determining the Required Sample Size if we know the desired E and confidence level.

6.3- Inference for the Population Mean

The one sample t-interval for when is unknown:
If: Normal population or large sample and is unknown, Then:
A 100 (1 - )% CI for is:
