What is the definition for a critical value for a C% confidence interval of a population proportion?

Back

The critical value (z*) is a multiplier that makes the interval wide enough to have the stated capture rate. You can use the Normal Distributions Applet to find z*.

What is the formula for calculating the Standard Error (SE) of the sample mean?

Back

SE = σ / √n, where σ is the population standard deviation and n is the sample size.

Front

What does the term 'margin of error' refer to in the context of confidence intervals?

Back

The margin of error is the range of values above and below the point estimate that defines the confidence interval.

What is the relationship between confidence level and the width of a confidence interval?

Back

As the confidence level increases, the width of the confidence interval also increases.

What is the purpose of the Large Counts condition in statistics?

Back

The Large Counts condition ensures that the sample size is large enough for the sampling distribution of the sample proportion to be approximately normal.
