Exact Confidence Intervals for a Single Proportion

Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration shows calculations of point estimations and confidence intervals for various single proportions of populations obeying a condition (or trait), as well as their plots versus -value. This is done for differing populations obeying and violating a condition (or trait) and differing
-values for estimating the lower and upper bounds of the confidence intervals.
