Answer:

c.A 90% confidence level and a sample size of 300 subjects.

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 1-\alpha, we have the confidence interval with a margin of error of:

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

In which

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

In this problem

The proportions are the same for all the options, so we are going to write our margins of error as functions of \sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)}

So

a.A 99% confidence level and a sample size of 50 subjects.

n = 50

99% confidence interval

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.

The margin of error is

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \frac{2.575}{\sqrt{50}}\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)} = 0.3642\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)}

b.A 90% confidence level and a sample size of 50 subjects.

n = 50

90% confidence interval

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

The margin of error is

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \frac{1.645}{\sqrt{50}}\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)} = 0.2623\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)}

c.A 90% confidence level and a sample size of 300 subjects.

n = 300

90% confidence interval

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

The margin of error is

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \frac{1.645}{\sqrt{300}}\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)} = 0.0950\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)}

This produces smallest margin of error.

d.A 99% confidence level and a sample size of 300 subjects.

n = 300

99% confidence interval

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.

The margin of error is

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = \frac{2.575}{\sqrt{300}}\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)} = 0.1487\sqrt{\pi(1-\pi)}

A house was valued at $100,000 in the year 1987. The value appreciated to $165,000 by the year 2002.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

  A) The annual multiplier was 1.0339; the annual increase was 0.0339 of the value.

  B) 3.39% per year

  C) $182,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Let's let t represent years since 1987. Then we can fill in the numbers and solve for r.

  165000 = 100000(1 +r)^15

  1.65^(1/15) = 1 +r . . . . . divide by 100,000; take the 15th root

  1.03394855265 -1 = r ≈ 0.0339

The value was multiplied by about 1.0339 each year.

__

B) The value increased by about 3.39% per year.

__

C) S = $100,000(1.03394855265)^18 ≈ $182,000
