Confidence Interval where standard divination is not given

35 Views Asked by At

A transport company carries out a survey to gauge reaction to a proposed train timetable change. The survey finds that 122 out of a sample of 200 randomly selected passengers react positively to the new timetable. Infer a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of the train passenger population concerned who can be expected to react positively to the proposed timetable change.

I am confused as the SD is not given I know the formula to get calculate the answer but I am not sure if I am right

As e survey finds that 122 out of a sample of 200

Should I state N = 122?

The way I went about this question is using the formula but it is completely off as I am getting strange results

enter image description here

N = 200

P = 122/200 = .61

Interval at 95% = 1.96

√((.61)(1-.61)

= √((.61)(39)/200

= 0.0024 * 1.96

= 0.004
