Question
Assume that a sample is used to estimate a population proportion p. Find the margin of error M.E. that corresponds to a
M.E. =_____ %
(report answer accurate to one decimal place; answer should be reported as a percent, not a decimal—though do not type the percent sign)
Answer should be obtained without any preliminary rounding. However, the critical value may be rounded to 3 decimal places.

The test statistic z=1.53 and the p-value is reported as P-value = 0.063. Find the error in the reasoning. This is a right-tailed test so the P-value should be 0.9370. This is a two-tailed test so the P-value should be 0.126. The P-value should have been calculated using the studentâ s t-distribution. There is no error in the reasoning.
