What is a confidence interval for population standard deviation?

It is defined as the sampling distribution following an approximately normal distribution for known standard deviation.

We have an 80% confidence interval for a proportion.

Proportions are 0.12, 0.18

Since for the given sample, the confidence interval is symmetric to the mean value.

Mean of the 0.12 and 0.18

[tex]=\rm \frac{0.12+0.18}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\rm \frac{0.30}{2}[/tex]

= 0.15

Thus, the sample proportion is 0.15 for an 80% confidence interval.
