Use the normal distribution to find a confidence interval for a proportion p given the relevant sample results. Give the best point estimate for p, the margin of error, and the confidence interval. Assume the results come from a random sample.

A 95% confidence interval for p given that p^=0.34 and n=475.

Round your answer for the best point estimate to two decimal places, and your answers for the margin of error and the confidence interval to three decimal places.

Best point estimate =

Margin of error =

The 95% confidence interval is= to

Enter your answer; The 95%confidence interval, value 1 to Enter your answer; The 95%confidence interval, value 2.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
