This AP Statistics study guide covers confidence intervals for proportions, including: defining confidence intervals, interpreting them (with examples and templates), using them for hypothesis testing, factors affecting interval width (sample size, confidence level, margin of error), and exam tips with practice multiple-choice and free-response questions (including solutions and rubrics).
