1. Estimate the proportion of modules in the portfolio that are Y2K compliant Since the sample proportion is 60% then assuming the sample is representative of the population (i.e. the portfolio) then 60% is a good estimate of the portfolio proportion. 2. Determine the "error" in your estimate for 1. above. The error in the estimate is given by S(p). Since n=120 then S(p) is: S(p)=sqrt(0.6*0.4)/120)=0.0447 Hence the "error" is 0.0447 or expressed as a percentage is 4.47%. 3. What is the "margin of error". Interpret your answer. Margin of error is approximately 2*S(p)=2*4.47=8.94%. Since p +/- "margin of error" is approximately a 95% CI then we may say that we are approximately 95% confident that the portfolio proportion is between 51% and 69% (rounded).
