Chapter 12: Inference for Proportions

12.1 Inference for a Population Proportion

12.2 Comparing Two Proportions

Sampling Distribution of p-hat

n  From Chapter 9: n  p-hat is an unbiased estimator of p.

n  standard deviation of p-hat:

Conditions for Inference about a Proportion (p. 687)

n  SRS n  N at least 10n n  For a significance test of H0:p=p0:

n  The sample size n is so large that both np0 and n(1-p0) are at least 10.

n  For a confidence interval: n  n is so large that both the count of successes, n*p-hat, and

the count of failures, n(1 - p-hat), are at least 10.

5

Can we make inferences about a proportion?

n  Exercises 12.4 and 12.5, p. 689

6

Normal Sampling Distribution

n  If these conditions are met, the distribution of p-hat is approximately normal, and we can use the z-statistic:

Choosing a Sample Size (p. 695)

n  Our guess p* can be from a pilot study, or we could use the most conservative guess of p*=0.5.

n  Solve for n.

Significance Tests for Comparing Two Proportions

n  Example 12.12, p. 707 n  H0: p1=p2 vs. Ha: p1<p2

n  “If H0 is true, all observations in both samples really come from a single population of men of whom a single unknown proportion p will have a heart attack in a five-year period. So instead of estimating p1 and p2 separately, we pool the two samples and use the overall sample proportion to estimate the single population parameter p.
