You wish to compute the 99% confidence interval for the population proportion. How large a sample should you draw to ensure that

the sample proportion does not deviate from the population proportion by more than 0.13?

Answer:

We need a sample of at least 99

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 of the interval is given by:

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

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

How large a sample should you draw to ensure that the sample proportion does not deviate from the population proportion by more than 0.13?

We don't know the proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5. So we need a sample of size at least n, in which n is found when M = 0.13. So

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

0.13 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.13\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.5}{0.13}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*0.5}{0.13})^{2}

n = 98.08

Answer:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.13}{2.58})^2}=98.47  

And rounded up we have that n=99

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.13 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

We assume the value for \hat p =0.5 since we don't have previous info. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.13}{2.58})^2}=98.47  

And rounded up we have that n=99

NemiM [27]

The business was valued at £17000 at the start of 2011. In 6 years, the value of this business was raised to £186000. This is equivalent to a yearly increase of 49.0%.

Given that, A=£17000, P=£186000, r=x%, t=6 years

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit, or in other words, interest on principal plus interest.

We know that, A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{n}

Wow, 186000=17000(1+\frac{x}{100} )^{6}

⇒10.94=(1+\frac{x}{100} )^{6}

⇒1.4891=1+\frac{x}{100}

⇒0.4891=\frac{x}{100}

⇒x=48.91%~49.0%

Therefore, the value of x is 49.0%.

Answer:

Look bucko this story will help u, make sure to read it all!

Step-by-step explanation:

She tried to explain that love wasn't like pie. There wasn't a set number of slices to be given out. There wasn't less to be given to one person if you wanted to give more to another. That after a set amount was given out it would all disappear. She tried to explain this, but it fell on deaf ears.

Cake or pie? I can tell a lot about you by which one you pick. It may seem silly, but cake people and pie people are really different. I know which one I hope you are, but that's not for me to decide. So, what is it? Cake or pie?

It was a concerning development that he couldn't get out of his mind. He'd had many friends throughout his early years and had fond memories of playing with them, but he couldn't understand how it had all stopped. There was some point as he grew up that he played with each of his friends for the very last time, and he had no idea that it would be the last.

She nervously peered over the edge. She understood in her mind that the view was supposed to be beautiful, but all she felt was fear. There had always been something about heights that disturbed her, and now she could feel the full force of this unease. She reluctantly crept a little closer with the encouragement of her friends as the fear continued to build. She couldn't help but feel that something horrible was about to happen.

I'm heading back to Colorado tomorrow after being down in Santa Barbara over the weekend for the festival there. I will be making October plans once there and will try to arrange so I'm back here for the birthday if possible. I'll let you know as soon as I know the doctor's appointment schedule and my flight plans.

She reached her goal, exhausted. Even more chilling to her was that the euphoria that she thought she'd feel upon reaching it wasn't there. Something wasn't right. Was this the only feeling she'd have for over five years of hard work?

At that moment he had a thought that he'd never imagine he'd consider. "I could just cheat," he thought, "and that would solve the problem." He tried to move on from the thought but it was persistent. It didn't want to go away and, if he was honest with himself, he didn't want it to.

You can decide what you want to do in life, but I suggest doing something that creates. Something that leaves a tangible thing once you're done. That way even after you're gone, you will still live on in the things you created.

He looked at the sand. Picking up a handful, he wondered how many grains were in his hand. Hundreds of thousands? "Not enough," the said under his breath. I need more.

There once lived an old man and an old woman who were peasants and had to work hard to earn their daily bread. The old man used to go to fix fences and do other odd jobs for the farmers around, and while he was gone the old woman, his wife, did the work of the house and worked in their own little plot of land.
