The procedure to find the
confidence interval for a
proportion is similar to that
for the population mean,
but the formulas are a bit
different. We are still look-
ing for a range of numbers,
written as: (point estimate
- margin of error, point es-
timate + margin of error),
The Parameters for a Con- with (point estimate - mar-
fidence Interval with a Pro- gin of error) as the lower
portion value and (point estimate
+ margin of error) as the
upper value of the confi-
dence interval.
Since we're looking for
a point estimate for the
true proportion and mar-
gin of error for proportions
here, instead of means,
the point estimate will be
the sample proportion, p2,
