How to spot this family

  • z* and margin of error for a proportion:This is the single most frequent question type — it shows up in every one of the 50/50 past papers, almost guaranteed to appear · a) "Given Z~N(0,1) ... P(−z∗<Z<z∗)=P(-z^*<Z<z^*)=some number" · b) "In a random sample of n ..., k showed ..." → find p̂ / margin of error / whether normality is reasonable
