In the past, 19% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent had the father as the stay-at-home parent. An independent research firm

has been charged with conducting a sample survey to obtain more current information. (a) What sample size is needed if the research firm's goal is to estimate the current proportion of homes with a stay-at-home parent in which the father is the stay-at-home parent with a margin of error of 0.03? Use a 95% confidence level. (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

A sample size of 657 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

In the past, 19% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent had the father as the stay-at-home parent.

This means that \pi = 0.19

(a) What sample size is needed if the research firm's goal is to estimate the current proportion of homes with a stay-at-home parent in which the father is the stay-at-home parent with a margin of error of 0.03?

A sample size of n is needed.

n is found when M = 0.03

Then

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.19*0.81}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.19*0.81}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.19*0.81}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.19*0.81}}{0.03})^{2}

n = 656.91

Rounding up to the nearest whole number.

A sample size of 657 is needed.

A freezer can be bought on hire purchase by making a desposiy of 15% of the cash price which is $2975 the interest which is 20%
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The deposit

= 15% × $2975

= 15/100 × $2975

= 0.15 × $2975

= $446.25

b. The hire purchase price

Outstanding balance = $2975 - $446.25 = $2528.75

20% of outstanding balance

= 20% × $2528.75

= 0.2 × $2528.75

= $505.75

Hire purchase price

= $2975 + $505.75

= $3480.75

c. The difference the hire purchase price and cash price

= $3480.75 - $2975

= $505.75

d. The difference as a percentage of the cash price.

= ($505.75 / $2975) × 100

= 0.17 × 100

= 17%
