We need to find out how many adults must the brand manager survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage.

From the given data we know that our confidence level is 90%. From Standard Normal Table we know that the critical level at 90% confidence level is 1.645. In other words, Z_{Critical}=1.645.

We also know that E=5% or E=0.05

Also, since, \hat{p} is not given, we will assume that \hat{p}=0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have \hat{p}(1-\hat{p}) in the expression and that will be maximum only when \hat{p}=0.5. (For any other value of \hat{p}, we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if, \hat{p} is 0.4, then 1-\hat{p}=0.6 and thus, \hat{p}(1-\hat{p})=0.24.).

We will now use the formula

n=(\frac{Z_{Critical}}{E})^2\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})

We will now substitute all the data that we have and we will get

n=(\frac{1.645}{0.05})^2\times0.5(1-0.5)

n=(32.9)^2\times0.25

n=270.6025

which can approximated to n=271.

So, the brand manager needs a sample size of 271

in a city school of 1,200 students, 40% of the students are on the honor roll, 60% have a part-time job, and 22% are on the hono
Alexus [3.1K]
Let
A = event that the student is on the honor roll
B = event that the student has a part-time job
C = event that the student is on the honor roll and has a part-time job

We are given
P(A) = 0.40
P(B) = 0.60
P(C) = 0.22
note: P(C) = P(A and B)

We want to find out P(A|B) which is "the probability of getting event A given that we know event B is true". This is a conditional probability

P(A|B) = [P(A and B)]/P(B)
P(A|B) = P(C)/P(B)
P(A|B) = 0.22/0.6
P(A|B) = 0.3667 which is approximate

Convert this to a percentage to get roughly 36.67% and this rounds to 37%

Final Answer: 37%
