In a survey, the planning value for the population proportion is p* = 0.35. How large a sample should be taken to provide a 95%

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=349.59$

And rounded up we have that n=350

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".

$p$ represent the real population proportion of interest

$\aht p$ represent the estimated proportion for the sample

n is the sample size required (variable of interest)

$z$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

Solution to the problem

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

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 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

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 $ME =\pm 0.05$ 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)

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=349.59$

And rounded up we have that n=350

Find how much he will earn
we know he will earn 8 hours sofirst find how many he earns
9 per hour
8 hou
9*8=72
72+6*numberofdeliveries=155
minus 72
6*numberofdeliviers=83
divide by 6
number of delevieries=13.8

Taxicab Ride

Answer: Carlton's cabs is the cheaper option if she wants to travel 15 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship can be written as:

c = a*n + b

where a is the slope (in this case, the rate per mile), n is the number of miles driven by the taxi, and b is the y-axis (in this case, the initial cost) intercept.

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

Then for each table we only need to take two points and construct the linear equation:

Treveon's Taxis:

We can use the two points (1, $5.25) and (3, $9.75)

Then the rate per mile, or the slope, will be:

a = ($9.75 - $5.25)/(3 - 1) = $2.25

This means that each mile costs $2.25

Then the equation will be written as:

c = $2.25*n + b

To find the value of b, we can just replace one of the points in the equation. For example, I will se the point (1, $5.25) this means that we need to replace n by 1, and c by $5.25

Then:

$5.25 = $2.25*1 + b

$5.25 - $2.25 = b

$3 = b

Then the initial cost here is $3.

And the equation will be:

c = $2.25*n + $3.

Carlton's Cabs:

Same approach as before, here I will use the points (1, $7.00) and (3, $10.50)

Then the rate per mile will be:

a = ($10.50 - $7.00)/(3 - 1) = $1.75

The rate per mile is $1.75 (is cheaper than in the previous case)

Then at the moment, the equation is:

c = $1.75*n + b

To find the initial cost, we do the same as before, here i will use the point (1, $7.00)

$7.00 = $1.75*1 + b

$7.00 - $1.75 = b

$5.25 = b

The initial cost here is $5.25

And the equation will be:

c = $1.75*n + $5.25

Now, which one is cheaper for 15 miles?

We only need to replace n by 15 in both equations, and see in which one the cost is lower:

Treveon's Taxis:

c(15) = $2.25*15 + $3 = $36.75

Carlton's Cabs:

c(15) = $1.75*15 + $5.25 = $31.5

Then Carlton's Cabs is a better option if you want to travel 15 miles.
