A One-Sided Confidence Interval for P Can Be Written As p

question 23

Multiple Choice

A one-sided confidence interval for p can be written as $p < \hat { p } + \mathrm { E } \text { or } p < \hat { p } - \mathrm { E }$ E where the margin of error E is modified by replacing $z _ { \alpha / 2 }$ with ${ } ^ { Z } \alpha$ . If a teacher wants to report that the fail rate on a test is at most x with 90% Confidence, construct the appropriate one-sided confidence interval. Assume that a simple random sample of 74 students results in 8 who fail the test.

• A) \(p < 0.167\)
• B) \(p < 0.062\)
• C) \(p < 0.154\)
• D) \(p > 0.062\)
