In the computer game World of Warcraft, some of the strikes are critical strikes, which do more damage. Assume that the probability of a critical strike is the same for every attack, and that attacks are independent. During a particular fight, a character has 251 critical strikes out of 591 attacks. What is the lower bound for the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of strikes that are critical strikes.

Answer:

0.372

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of attacks = n = 591

Number of critical strikes = x = 251

Proportion of critical strikes = p = [tex]\frac{x}{n}=\frac{251}{591}[/tex]

Proportion of non-critical strikes = q = 1 - p = [tex]1-\frac{251}{591}=\frac{340}{591}[/tex]

Confidence Level = 99%

Z-score for this confidence level = 2.58

The Lower bound for the population proportion is given by:

[tex]p-z\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n}}[/tex]

Using the values, we get:

[tex]\frac{251}{591}-2.58\times\sqrt{\frac{\frac{251}{591}\times\frac{340}{591}}{591}} \\\\ =0.372[/tex]

The lower bound for the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of strikes that are critical strikes is 0.372
