Faculty solution guide
Accept equivalent statistically correct reasoning. Require context, design, assumptions, uncertainty, and limits.
p̂=0.60; ME≈1.96√[0.6(0.4)/200]≈0.068.
A common error is to report a calculation without identifying the population, design, assumptions, uncertainty, context, or limits on causal and generalizing claims.
A complete response identifies population, cases, variables, parameter or estimand, study design, and conditions for One-Proportion Confidence Intervals.
Repair the earliest invalid assumption, display, calculation, or inference; then rerun the interpretation and state how the correction changes the claim.
A strong application defines context, data source, design, analysis plan, uncertainty, and limits on generalization or causation.
Use at least two of: independent recomputation, alternative graph or model, residual/diagnostic check, resampling, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, simulation, or comparison with a known benchmark.
