An educator wants to construct a 99% confidence interval for the true proportion of California school children who are proficient in reading. Suppose that of a simple random sample of 600 California school children, 70% were proficient in reading. We are interested in the number that were proficient in reading. a) what parameter are we estimating? p b) What is the point estimate of that parameter? OT c) What is a success for this problem? proficient in reading d) How many successes were there? e) Find the margin of error for a 99% confidence interval, rounded to the 5th. f) Round to the fourth. We are 99% confident that the true proportion of California school children that are proficient in reading is between and
