Document Summary

Let x denote the number of elmer"s con dence intervals which will contain . How large should elmer make his sample size? (suppose elmer is using the traditional, simple, method-of-moments (100 )% con dence interval for a population proportion: p z /2p p(1 p)/ n. : (20 points) for each part, write true or false. No proof necessary. (a) if a hypothesis test is run at level of signi cance = . 10, and the resulting. ***there are more problems on the back side*** Typeset by ams-tex: (25 points) elmer gets a job as a librarian.
