Question

The following confidence interval is obtained for a population proportion, p: 0.753 < p < 0.797. use these confidence interval limits to find the point estimate, p^

Answer 1

The point estimate, p^, is 0.775.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate, p^, is the midpoint of the confidence interval. In this case, the confidence interval is (0.753, 0.797). To find the point estimate, we add the lower limit and the upper limit of the confidence interval and divide the sum by 2:

p^ = (0.753 + 0.797) / 2 = 0.775

Therefore, the point estimate, p^, is 0.775.
