In a survey 6000 women 3431 say they change their nail polis
In a survey 6000 women. 3431 say they change their nail polish once week. Construct a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of women who can change their nail polish once weekly. 90% confidence interval for the population proportion is?
Solution
Confidence Interval For Proportion
 CI = p ± Z a/2 Sqrt(p*(1-p)/n)))
 x = Mean
 n = Sample Size
 a = 1 - (Confidence Level/100)
 Za/2 = Z-table value
 CI = Confidence Interval
 Mean(x)=3431
 Sample Size(n)=6000
 Sample proportion = x/n =0.5718
 Confidence Interval = [ 0.5718 ±Z a/2 ( Sqrt ( 0.5718*0.4282) /6000)]
 = [ 0.5718 - 2.58* Sqrt(0) , 0.5718 + 2.58* Sqrt(0) ]
 = [ 0.5553,0.5883]
