When building a confidence interval for a population proportion, why is it important for the observations to be selected randomly?

A
to guarantee that the value of the population parameter can be determined
B
to trust that they accurately describe the population of interest
C
to determine the critical value
D
to ensure that the 10% condition is met
12

When do we check the 10% condition?

A
when we sample with replacement from a population
B
when we sample from a finite population without replacement
C
when we sample from a population
D
when we want to construct a confidence interval
13
