Estimating Parameters And Determining Sample Sizes. We can use a sample proportion to construct a confidence interval estimate of the true value of a population proportion and we should know how to interpret such confidence intervals. The object of estimation is to determine the approximate value of a population parameter on the basis of a sample statistic.
The sample proportion is the best point estimate of the population proportion. Put into categories like green blue male female etc. Thus 186 sample size arrived at should be corrected adjusted for finite population.
The sample proportion is the best point estimate of the population proportion.
An estimator is an assignment of a number the estimate of the parameter to each possible random sample of size n from the population.
