Khan Academy: Interpreting a Z Interval for a Proportion

For Students 9th - 10th
Once we build a confidence interval for a proportion, it's important to be able to interpret what the interval tells us about the population, and what it doesn't tell us. Let's look at few examples that demonstrate how to interpret a...

Khan Academy: Reference: Conditions for Inference on a Proportion

For Students 9th - 10th Standards
When we want to carry out inferences on one proportion (build a confidence interval or do a significance test), the accuracy of our methods depend on a few conditions. Before doing the actual computations of the interval or test, it's...
