Transcribed Image Text:In a sample of 16 fish from my pond, it was found that 5 are under 165 grams in weight. Based on this sample data, and using it to estimate the standard error, what is the margin of error for the 95 percent confidence interval for the true proportion of fish in my pond weighing under 165 grams?
