Subject: confidence interval given by prop.test()
Dear R-help,
> prop.test(9, 137, p=0.066)
> prop.test(9, 137, p=0.05)
give two different 95% confidence intervals.
I thought the confidence interval calculation
should be independent of testing calculations (and thus
the null hypothesis)?
Splus 2000 has similar problems but give slightly different
answer.
Using R1.3.0 on windows.
