Abstract:
The author assesses the accuracy of population forecasts in the Netherlands. "Forecast errors may have been caused by either failures of the forecast model or by developments which do not correspond to the expectations. Due to large errors of forecasts made in the 1960s and 1970s a new forecasting model (the cohort-component-model) has been developed and used since. Important changes of trends in fertility, mortality and external migration were incorporated gradually in the hypotheses of successive forecasts. However, short term fluctuations may sometimes lead to incorrect adjustments of long term assumptions." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
