A One-Sided Confidence Interval for P Can Be Written As p

Multiple Choice

A one-sided confidence interval for p can be written as $p < \hat { p } + \mathrm { E } \text { or } p > \hat { p } - \mathrm { E }$ where the margin of error E is modified by replacing $z _ { \alpha / 2 }$ with $Z _ { \alpha }$ If a teacher wants to report that the fail rate on a test is at most x with 90 % confidence, construct the appropriate one -sided confidence interval. Assume that a simple random sample of 74 students results in 8 who fail the test.

A) $p < 0.062$
B) $p < 0.154$
C) $p > 0.062$
D) $p < 0.167$
