sample proportion = 693 / 1012 = 0.685
n = 0.685 * 1012 = 693 > 10
n ( 1 - ) = 1012 * ( 1 - 0.685) = 319 > 10
Since n > 10 and n ( 1 - ) > 10 ,
Sampling distribution of proportin is approximately normal.
Margin of error = Z/2 * sqrt [ ( 1 - ) / n ]
= 1.645 * sqrt [ 0.685 * ( 1- 0.685) / 1012 ]
= 0.024
90% CI is
- E < P < + E
0.685 - 0.024 < p < 0.685 + 0.024
0.661 < p < 0.709
90% CI is ( 0.661 , 0.709 )
