Find the total number of dogs by adding each day:
Total dogs = 23
Percent of dogs: Divide the number of dogs by the total number of patients:
= 23 / 50 = 0.46 x 100 = 46%
Use the given formula to find the standard error:
Standard error = √(0.46*(1-0.46)/50) = 0.07
90%: Find Z value for 90% ( 1.645) multiply by SE:
1.645 x 0.07 = 0.115 = 0.12
Now add and subtract that value from the Percent from above:
46 + 12 = 58%
46-12 = 34%
Answer (34%, 58%)
95%: Find Z value for 95% ( 1.96) multiply by SE:
1.96 x 0.07 = 0.137 = 0.14
Now add and subtract that value from the Percent from above:
46 + 14 = 60%
46-14 = 32%
Answer (32%, 60%)
