Title: More on Tests for Proportion
Author(s): Wei-Min Huang*+
Companies: Lehigh University
Address: 14 East Packer Ave., Bethlehem, PA, 18015,
Keywords: Bernoulli trials ; tests for proportion ; normal approximation ; correction
Abstract:

Standard tests for proportion based on Bernoulli trials were examined in my previous preliminary study. Additional results are developed in this study. This article examines the exact probability of Type I error and the exact power of these standard tests. We also propose a modified test which has better control on the approximate probability of Type I error. Some additional approximations are also introduced.
