What is the z to the th power times critical value for constructing a 95 percent confidence interval for a proportion? Use the z -table.

For a 95% confidence interval, the middle 95% of the standard normal distribution is between z-scores −1.96 and 1.96. The positive critical value is therefore z* = 1.96, so the correct choice is “1 point 9 6.”
