A study conducted in 2004 in New York City found that 212 out of 1334 participants had
hypertension. Kim ran a simulation of 100 studies
based on these data. The output of the simulation
is shown in the diagram below.
At a 95% confidence level, the proportion of New
York City residents with hypertension and the
margin of error are closest to
1 proportion ≈ .16;margin of error ≈ .01
2 proportion ≈ .16;margin of error ≈ .02
3 proportion ≈ .01;margin of error ≈ .16
4 proportion ≈ .02;margin of error ≈ .16
