Answer: p → POPULATION PROPORTION

Explanation:

Given : n 1987, the General Social Survey asked, "Have you ever been active in a veteran's group? "

Sample size : n= 98

Proportion of successes = 52

The confidence interval for p is given by :-


p\pm\ z_(\alpha/2)\sqrt{(p(1-p))/(n)}

Where p is population proportion of successes.

So the parameter is p → POPULATION PROPORTION
