Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.1}{1.96})^2}=96.04$

And rounded up we got:

$n\approx 97$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and previous concepts

ME=0.1 represent the margin of error desired

Confidence =0.95 or 95%

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

z represent the quantile from the normal standard distribution

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".

The population proportion have the following distribution

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

Solution to the problem

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 confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

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 $ME =\pm 0.1$ 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)

Since we don't have a prior estimate for the proportion $\hat p$ we can use as estimator 0.5 and replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.1}{1.96})^2}=96.04$

And rounded up we have that n=97

A class trip is planned for a cinema visit.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer: 48 pupils get the bus to the cinema and 36 pupils walk to the cinema.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that there are a total of N pupils.

We know that N/4 walk to the cinema.

We know that N/3 get the bus to the cinema.

And the remainder is equal to 60 people.

Then:

N - N/4 - N/3 = 60

N*(1 - 1/4 - 1/3) = 60

N( 12/12 - 3/12 - 4/12) = 60

N*( 5/12) = 60

N = (12/5)*60 = 144

Then the number of pupils that walk to the cinema is N/4, or:

144/4 = 36

And the number of pupils that get the bus is N/3, or:

144/3 = 48.
