Suppose a large bucket contains a population of thousands of sunflower
seeds. From the bucket, a simple random sample of 50 seeds is collected, and exactly 44 of the seeds germinate.
For a 95% confidence interval, what is the value
of n, pˆ, and zcrit? @directrix

@Directrix

directrix · Answer

Are you fooling with the standard error of the mean yet?

directrix · Answer

p^  = 44/50 = 0.88

 z_c = 1.96 at 95% confidence.

 n = 50
