... (M) 46. Five hundred members of a health club out of a total of 10,000 are selected at random and asked if they are satisfied or unsatisfied with the club’s facilities. Out of the 500, 375 said they were satisfied. Compute the point estimate for the probability that any of the 10,000 members selecte ...

Confidence Interval for a Proportion

Visual Look At The Second Interpretation: For example, a confidence level of 90% means that on average, 90% of all possible ...

... (max(imum) – starting score)/(# of desired intervals) and then round the answer up to the next whole number (when our data is measured in whole numbers). For this example, w = (31-4)/4 = 6.75 ≈ 7 and thus the common width = 7. We then use the intervals 4- under 11(= 4+7), 11- under 18 (= 11+7), 18- ...

German tank problem
In the statistical theory of estimation, the problem of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution from sampling without replacement is known in English as the German tank problem, due to its application in World War II to the estimation of the number of German tanks.The analyses illustrate the difference between frequentist inference and Bayesian inference.Estimating the population maximum based on a single sample yields divergent results, while the estimation based on multiple samples is an instructive practical estimation question whose answer is simple but not obvious.
