    Confidence Interval for a Population Proportion

    This calculator creates confidence intervals for a population proportion given statistics. Please report the error to Dr. Jessica Kuang at jkuangATvcccd.edu.

    To learn how to use this calculator, please watch a short video here.

     

    Input

    Fill in the sample size (\(n\)), the number of successes (\(x\)), and the confidence level (CL), then hit Calculate.  Write the confidence level as a decimal.  For example, for a 95% confidence level, enter 0.95.

    Sample Size (\(n\)):   Number of Successes (\(X\)):   Confidence Level (enter a decimal):  

     

    Output

    Point Estimate (\(\hat{p}\)): Lower Bound: Upper Bound:
