dence interval for p.
Check all the conditions or assumptions required for constructing a confi-
(ii)
Compute the standard error of sample proprtion (p).
(iii)
Obtain a 95% confidence interval for p. What is the margin of error?
The university management wanted to see 30% smaller margin of error but
(iv)
with the same confidence as in part (ii), determine the sample size.
