2. I first found a small group of mothers and asked them do they think it is okay to spank their kids when they are misbehaving?

3. 11 of the mothers said it is okay 3 of the mothers said it is not okay
The small group of mothers that I found I randomly selected 14 of them to participate in this survey.
11 of the mothers said it is okay
3 of the mothers said it is not okay

4. 78.57% Mothers Said Okay 21.43% Mothers Said No
When I calculate the percentage of mothers who agrees with spanking their kids and who does not agree the figures show
78.57%
Mothers Said Okay
21.43%
Mothers Said No

5. P-Hat is .79 and Q-Hat is .21

6. Confidence Level 90% Za \ 2 = 1.645

7. Margin of error chosen:
N= 499 computed using formula

8. I decided to use a sample size of 500 people via internet (Face Book, Twitter, and LinkedIn to get a better view on the thoughts of a bigger body of the community.

9. When I did the survey the data that came back were.
438 People Agreed
62 People Disagreed

10. P-Hat & Q-Hat
87.6% Said They Agree
12.4% Said They Disagree

11. This means that the probability that a mother will spank her kids is: 85.2% < p < 90%

12. THE END
