e. Compute the Margin of Error (high-low)/2
0.5926 -0.2646/2 = 0.164
f. Check two important assumptions: np > 10 and n(1 − p) > 10 If one of these is not
true, then your results can not be trusted.
np = 35x0.5926= 20.741 > 10 n(1-p) = 35(1-0.5926) = 14.259 > 10

a. Clearly state the population for this problem.
The population is Math& 146 daytime students at Highline College
b. Clearly state the sample for this problem.
The sample is 35 Math& 146 daytime students at Highline College
c. Compute the sample proportion p of students in the sample who worked 20 or more
hours per week.
15
p=x/n 15/35 = 0.4286
d. Compute the 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of all daytime
Highline students who work 20 or more hours per week.
X± Z(S÷√n)
0.4286 ± 1.96 √0.4286(1-0.4286)/35
0.4286 +1.96 √0.4286(1-0.4286)/35 = 0.5926
0.4286 - 1.96 √0.4286(1-0.4286)/35 = 0.2646
95% confidence interval is (0.5926,0.2646)
e. Compute the Margin of Error (high-low)/2
0.5926 -0.2646/2 = 0.164
