The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the e

ighth grade level. In an earlier study, the population proportion was estimated to be 0.21. How large a sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level at the 85% confidence level with an error of at most 0.03

Answer:

We need a sample size of at least 383.

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}}

85% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.15, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.15}{2} = 0.925, so Z = 1.44.

How large a sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level at the 85% confidence level with an error of at most 0.03

We need a sample size of at least n.

n is found with M = 0.03, \pi = 0.21

Then

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

0.03 = 1.44\sqrt{\frac{0.21*0.79}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.44\sqrt{0.21*0.79}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.44\sqrt{0.21*0.79}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.44\sqrt{0.21*0.79}}{0.03})^{2}

n = 382.23

Rounding up

We need a sample size of at least 383.

Change this radical to an algebraic expression with fractional exponents. √y^2 The exponent on y is:
Wewaii [24]
The power rule (or law of indices) related to root is given
x^{ \frac{1}{2} }=  \sqrt[2]{x}

We have \sqrt{ y^{2} }
Rewrite according to the rule we have y^{ \frac{2}{2} } = y^{1}

The exponent on y is '1'
