A marketing researcher wants to find a 96% confidence interval for the mean amount those visitors spend per person per day while

visiting a theme park. She knows that the population standard deviation is $12. How large a sample should the researcher select so that the estimate will be within $4 of the population mean?

Answer:

n=(\frac{2.054(12)}{4})^2 =37.97 \approx 38

So then the minimum sample to ensure the condition given is n= 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=12 represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

ME = 4 the margin of error desired

Solution to the problem

When we create a confidence interval for the mean the margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =4 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 96% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance is \alpha=1-0.96 =0.04. And in excel we can use this formula to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.02;0;1)", and we got z_{\alpha/2}=2.054, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{2.054(12)}{4})^2 =37.97 \approx 38

So then the minimum sample to ensure the condition given is n= 38
