Unit 2:

3.1 math example

\(p\) is unknown but expected to be around 1/3. Standard error will be approximated

\[ SE = \sqrt(\frac{p(1-p)}{n}) \approx \sqrt{\frac{1/3 (1 - 1/3)} {300}} = 0.027 \]

You can also use math in footnotes like this1.

We will approximate standard error to 0.0272

  2. \(p\) is unknown but expected to be around 1/3. Standard error will be approximated

    \[ SE = \sqrt(\frac{p(1-p)}{n}) \approx \sqrt{\frac{1/3 (1 - 1/3)} {300}} = 0.027 \]↩︎
