As in the video above, let R_1,\ldots ,R_ n\stackrel{iid}{\sim } \textsf{Ber}(p) for some unknown parameter p. We estimate p using the estimator \hat{p}=\displaystyle \overline{R}_ n=\frac{1}{n}\sum _{i=1}^{n} R_ i.

For a fixed number \alpha, after applying the CLT (and doing some algebra), we obtained

\lim _{n\to \infty } \mathbf{P}\left(\left[\overline{R}_ n-\frac{q_{\alpha /2}\sqrt{p(1-p)}}{\sqrt n},\overline{R}_ n+\frac{q_{\alpha /2}\sqrt{p(1-p)}}{\sqrt n}\right]\ni p\right) = 1-\alpha .

Which of the quantities in the equation above is random and which is deterministic?

In the equation above:

\overline{R}_ n: deterministic
n: deterministic
q_{\alpha /2}: deterministic
p: random
