Question

on the formula sheet for this course, the margin of error is called the error bound for a mean (ebm) or the error bound for a proportion (ebp).
true
false
on the formula sheet for this course, the sample proportion, \\( \hat { p } \\), is called:
a. \\( q ^ { prime } \\)
b. \\( p \\)
c. \\( q \\)
d. \\( p ^ { prime } \\)

Explanation:

• For the first question: In statistics, the margin of error for a mean is called the Error Bound for a Mean (EBM) and for a proportion is called the Error Bound for a Proportion (EBP).
• For the second question: In the context of sample - proportion notation, the sample proportion \(\hat{p}\) is also denoted as \(p'\).

Answer:

• First question: True
• Second question: D. \(p'\)
