Lesson Estimating a Population Proportion

Knowledge Objectives List the three conditions that must be present before constructing a confidence interval for an unknown population proportion.

Construction Objectives Given a sample proportion, p-hat, determine the standard error of p-hat Construct a confidence interval for a population proportion, remembering to use the four-step procedure (see the Inference Toolbox, page 631) Determine the sample size necessary to construct a level C confidence interval for a population proportion with a specified margin of error

Vocabulary Statistics –

Proportion Review Important properties of the sampling distribution of a sample proportion p-hat Center: The mean is p. That is, the sample proportion is an unbiased estimator of the population proportion p. Spread: The standard deviation of p-hat is √p(1-p)/n, provided that the population is at least 10 times as large as the sample. Shape: If the sample size is large enough that both np and n(1-p) are at least 10, the distribution of p-hat is approximately Normal.

Sampling Distribution of p-hat Approximately Normal if np ≥10 and n(1-p)≥10

Inference Conditions for a Proportion SRS – the data are from an SRS from the population of interest Normality – for a confidence interval, n is large enough so that np and n(1-p) are at least 10 or more Independence – individual observations are independent and when sampling without replacement, N > 10n

Confidence Interval for P-hat Always in form of PE  MOE where MOE is confidence factor  standard error of the estimate SE = √p(1-p)/n and confidence factor is a z* value

Example 1 The Harvard School of Public Health did a survey of 10,904 US college students and drinking habits. The researchers defined “frequent binge drinking” as having 5 or more drinks in a row three or more times in the past two weeks. According to this definition, 2486 students were classified as frequent binge drinkers. Based on these data, construct a 99% CI for the proportion p of all college students who admit to frequent binge drinking. p-hat = 2486 / = Parameter: p-hat PE ± MOE

Example 1 cont Calculations: p-hat ± z* SE p-hat ± z* √p(1-p)/n ± (2.576) √(0.228) (0.772)/ ± LB = < μ < = UB Interpretation: We are 99% confident that the true proportion of college undergraduates who engage in frequent binge drinking lies between 21.8 and 23.8 %. Conditions: 1) SRS 2) Normality 3) Independence shaky np = 2486>10 way more than n(1-p)=8418>10 110,000 students

Example 2 We polled n = 500 voters and when asked about a ballot question, 47% of them were in favor. Obtain a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion in favor of this ballot question (α = 0.005) Parameter: p-hat PE ± MOE Conditions: 1) SRS 2) Normality 3) Independence assumed np = 235>10 way more than n(1-p)=265>10 5,000 voters

Example 2 cont We polled n = 500 voters and when asked about a ballot question, 47% of them were in favor. Obtain a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion in favor of this ballot question (α = 0.005) < p < Calculations: p-hat ± z* SE p-hat ± z* √p(1-p)/n 0.47 ± (2.576) √(0.47) (0.53)/ ± Interpretation: We are 99% confident that the true proportion of voters who favor the ballot question lies between 41.3 and 52.7 %.

Sample Size Needed for Estimating the Population Proportion p The sample size required to obtain a (1 – α) * 100% confidence interval for p with a margin of error E is given by rounded up to the next integer, where p is a prior estimate of p. If a prior estimate of p is unavailable, the sample required is z* n = p(1 - p) E 2 z* n = E 2 rounded up to the next integer. The margin of error should always be expressed as a decimal when using either of these formulas

Example 3 In our previous polling example, how many people need to be polled so that we are within 1 percentage point with 99% confidence? MOE = E = 0.01 Z* = Z.995 = z * n = E n = = 16, n=16, Since we do not have a previous estimate, we use p = 0.5

Quick Review All confidence intervals (CI) looked at so far have been in form of Point Estimate (PE) ± Margin of Error (MOE) PEs have been x-bar for μ and p-hat for p MOEs have been in form of CL ● ‘σ x-bar or p-hat ’ If σ is known we use it and Z 1-α/2 for CL If σ is not known we use s to estimate σ and t α/2 for CL We use Z 1-α/2 for CL when dealing with p-hat Note: CL is Confidence Level

Confidence Intervals Form: –Point Estimate (PE)  Margin of Error (MOE) –PE is an unbiased estimator of the population parameter –MOE is confidence level  standard error (SE) of the estimator –SE is in the form of standard deviation / √sample size Specifics: ParameterPE MOE C-level Standard Error Number needed μ, with σ known x-barz*σ / √nn = [z*σ/MOE]² μ, with σ unknown x-bart*s / √nn = [z*σ/MOE]² pp-hatz*√p(1-p)/n n = p(1-p) [z*/MOE]² n = 0.25[z*/MOE]²
