The critical value is a factor used to compute the margin of error. Because the sampling distribution of a proportion is approximately normal when the sample size is large, we will express the critical value as a z-score. Common z-score critical values are 1.645 for a 90% confidence ...
Lesson 16: Margin of Error When Estimating a Population Proportion
You have probably come across this concept when you see survey results presented with a margin of error of, say, ±2%. Statistical significance is when you take the confidence intervals for two different populations and see if they overlap; if they don’t, you can be reasonably confident ...
The confidence interval is constructed from the estimated population proportion, and the margin of error, which is determined by the standard error of the estimate and a scaling factor (z*) that establishes the width of the confidence interval: Here’s an example. Let’s say I know that nati...
