u 1-Prop Z Interval
1-Prop Z Interval uses the number of data to calculate the confidence interval for an
unknown proportion of successes.
The following is the confidence interval. α is the level of significance. The value 100 (1 – α) %
is the confidence level.

Data is specified using parameter specification. The following shows the meaning of each
item.
C-Level ........................ confidence level (0 < C-Level < 1)
x .................................. data (0 or positive integer)
n .................................. size of sample (positive integer)
Save Res .................... list for storage of calculation results (None or List 1 to 26)
Execute ....................... executes a calculation
After setting all the parameters, use c to move the highlighting to “Execute” and then press
the function key shown below to perform the calculation.
• 1(CALC) ... Performs the calculation.
Calculation Result Output Example
Left .............................. confidence interval lower limit (left edge)
Right ............................ confidence interval upper limit (right edge)
ˆp .................................. estimated sample proportion
n .................................. size of sample
