Abstract:
In this paper, we have pointed out a major mistake in the research paper of Singh and Mathur [(2004). Unknown repeated trials in the unrelated question randomized response model, Biometrical Journal, 46:375-378]. We have corrected this mistake and proposed the corresponding corrected estimator of sensitive population proportion. Furthermore, we have obtained the variance of our proposed estimator. Likewise, Singh and Mathur, we have also compared the variance of our proposed estimator with that of the Greenberg et al.'s estimator theoretically as well as numerically.

Sample Proportion and Population Proportion
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...

Testing a Claim about Mean: Unknown Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be approximately normally distributed. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. There is no specific requirement for sample size. But if the sample size is less than 30, and we don't know the population standard deviation, a different approach is used;...
