A Comparison of Two Large Sample Confidence Intervals for a Proportion: A Monte Carlo Simulation,

Abstract

Two pairs of confidence intervals for a proportion as in page 394 of Larson's (1982) are compared. It can be shown through computer simulation experiments that, for certain values of p, the confidence interval obtained by the approximation is superior.
