42、ntegrityANNEX(Mandatory Information)A1. DETERMINATION OF 90 % CONFIDENCE INTERVAL (PROPORTION)A1.1 The most common and ordinarily the best singleestimate (p) of the true proportion (or percentage) (P) of itemsthat have a given quality characteristic is simply the number ofitems ( r) that possess thi
43、s characteristic divided by the totalnumber of items (n).p 5 r/n (A1.1)When a sample is taken from a population, the sampleproportion that possesses the characteristic will seldom beexactly the same proportion as the population. It is hoped to befairly close so that a statement of the confidence int
44、erval willbracket the true proportion.A1.2 Glossary of Additional Terms:a = probability of being wrong,1a = probability of being correct,Pu= upper limit of the confidence interval for P,Pl= lower limit of the confidence interval for P, andA = chosen limit for the width of the confidence inter-val (i
45、n accordance with 7.2, A = 0.20).A1.3 The following procedure gives an interval which isexpected to bracket ( P), the true proportion, 100 (1 a)%ofthe time:A1.3.1 Choose the desired confidence level, 1 a.A1.3.2 Compute p = r/n.A1.3.3 If n w- 30, use Table A1.1.A1.3.4 If n 30, look up Z = Z1a2 in Tab
46、le A1.2 andcompute:Pu5 p 1 Zp 1 2 p!n(A1.2)Pl5 p 2 Zp 1 2 p!nF494 05 (2011)3The interval from Plto Puis a 100(1 a) % confidenceinterval for the true proportion; that is, we may assert with100(1 a) % confidence that Pl30, Z0.95= 1.645 from Table A1.2. Compute:Pu5 Z0.95=p 1 p!/n (A1.3)P15 Z0.95=p 1 p!
