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%

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

Suppose that you randomly draw one card from a standard deck of 52 cards. After writing down which card was drawn, you replace t
34kurt

Answer:

The probability is 0.0775

The expected value is 4.75 clubs

The standard deviation is 1.8875 clubs

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable X follows a binomial distribution, because we have n identical and independent events (19 cards) with a probability p of success and 1-p of fail (there is a probability of 1/4 to be club and 3/4 to be diamond, heart or spade). Then, the probability that x of the n cards are club is:

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}\\P(x)=\frac{19!}{x!(19-x)!}*0.25^{x}*(0.75)^{19-x}

So, the probability P of drawing at least 8 clubs is:

P = P(8) + P(9) + P(10) + ... + P(18) + P(19)

Replacing, the values of x, from 8 to 19, on the equation above, we get:

P = 0.0775

Additionally, the expected value E(x) and standard deviationS(x) for this distribution is given by:

E(x)=np = 19(0.25) = 4.75

S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)} =\sqrt{19(0.25)(0.75)} =1.8875
