Thoughts on Sect. 7.4
Students commonly forget the square root when computing \(\text{s.e.}(\hat{p})\), and some just have trouble with the maths anyway.
Furthermore, the calculators may use scientific notation to display the results from some calculations (e.g. \(2.2894\times 10^{-2}\) or \(2.2894^{-2}\) as it displays on some calculators); many students will have no idea what's going on.
