Before Giving a Standardized Exam to a Very Large Group

question 33

Short Answer

Before giving a standardized exam to a very large group of students, a professor tested it on a sample of 90 students, 50 of whom achieved an acceptable standard. If the professor wants to generalize the results to all students who will take the exam, compute a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of students who will likely meet an acceptable standard.
