Statistics: Confidence Intervals for Proportions

by Texas Instruments

Objectives

  • Students will interpret a confidence interval for a population proportion as a set of populations that seem reasonable as candidates for populations that could produce a sample with the observed proportion.
  • Students will recognize that a confidence interval is calculated from a given set of sample data.
  • Students will recognize that a confidence interval from a sample statistic from an unknown population is based on knowing how statistics from samples drawn from known populations behave.
