An automobile manufacturer would like to know what proportion of its customers are not satisfied with the service provided by th

e local dealer. The customer relations department will survey a random sample of customers and compute a 99.5% confidence interval for the proportion who are not satisfied.
(a) Past studies suggest that this proportion will be about 0.2. Find the sample size needed if the margin of the error of the confidence interval is to be about 0.015. (You will need a critical value accurate to at least 4 decimal places.)(b) Using the sample size above, when the sample is actually contacted, 12% of the sample say they are not satisfied. What is the margin of the error of the confidence interval?

Answer:

a) A sample size of 5615 is needed.

b) 0.012

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}}

99.5% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.005, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.005}{2} = 0.9975, so Z = 2.81.

(a) Past studies suggest that this proportion will be about 0.2. Find the sample size needed if the margin of the error of the confidence interval is to be about 0.015.

This is n for which M = 0.015.

We have that \pi = 0.2

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

0.015 = 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{n}}

0.015\sqrt{n} = 2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.015}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.015})^{2}

n = 5615

A sample size of 5615 is needed.

(b) Using the sample size above, when the sample is actually contacted, 12% of the sample say they are not satisfied. What is the margin of the error of the confidence interval?

Now \pi = 0.12, n = 5615.

We have to find M.

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

M = 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.12*0.88}{5615}}

M = 0.012

What are the best approximations of the solutions to this system?
Scilla [17]

(-1.2,-2.0) and (1.9,2.2) are the best approximations of the solutions to this system.

Option B

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here, we have a graph of two functions from which we need to find the approximate value of common solutions. Let's find this:

First look at where we have intersection points, In first quadrant & in third quadrant.

<u>At first quadrant:</u>

Draw perpendicular lines from x-axis & y-axis from this point . After doing this we can clearly see that the perpendicular lines cut x-axis at x=1.9 and y-axis at y=2.2. So, one point is (1.9,2.2)

<u>At Third quadrant:</u>

Draw perpendicular lines from x-axis & y-axis from this point. After doing this we can clearly see that the perpendicular lines cut x-axis at x=-1.2 and y-axis at y=  -2.0. So, other point is (-1.2,-2.0).

What ethical issues have been raised by the scientific community's commitment to ensuring that experimental treatments are not
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

They include;

1. Fewer chances of determining how effective the treatment plan would be.

2. Inability of every patient to access the experimental treatment.

3. Difficulties in making knowledgeable decisions on the treatment plan.

4. Determining that the experimental treatments are offered with the right motive.

Step-by-step explanation:

In medical treatment administration, it is standard practice that drugs undergo clinical trials on test animals before they are administered to patients. However, some sicknesses are without known drugs for treatment or may have drugs that are still undergoing experiments and trials. In such cases, patients may want to be treated with experimental drugs.

Ethical issues such as the above-listed can arise from this. The foremost of them all is the fact that the treatment might prove ineffective thus causing more problems to the patient.
