7 To estimate the percentage of a species of rodent that carries a viral infection, 128
rodents are histologically examined and 72 of them are found to be infected. Compute
a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion!
Penyelesaian :
n = 128 z.025 = 1,96
(1 - α) = 95% = 0,95 ^p = 72/128 = 0,5625
α = 0,05 q^ = 1-0,5625 = 0,4375
α / 2 = 0,025
Perhitungan
p^ q^ .05625 ×.4375

z.025
n √
= 1.96

=1,96 × .044=.0863

Interval
0,05625 ± 0,0863 = (0,6488; 0,4762) atau (64,88%; 47,62%)
Karena tingkat confidencenya 95%, maka dapat kita yakini bahwa interval populasi
terinfeksi adalah sebesar 47,62% sampai dengan 64,88%.

5.14 In a psychological experiment, individuals are permitted to react to a stimulus in one

of two ways, say, A or B. The experimenter wishes to estimate the proportion p of
persons exhibiting reaction A. How many persons should be included in the
experiment to be 90% confident that the error of estimation is within .04 if the
experimenter
a. Know that p is about .2?
b. Has no idea about the value of p?
Penyelesaian
d = 0,04 α / 2 = 0.05
