Find the size of each of two samples (assume that they are of equal size) needed to estimate the difference between the proporti

ons of boys and girls under 10 years old who are afraid of spiders. Assume the "worst case" scenario for the value of both sample proportions. We want a 99% confidence level and for the error to be smaller than 0.02

Answer:

The sample size n = 4225

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use maximum error formula = \frac{z_{a} S.D}{\sqrt{n} }

but we will find sample size "n"

\sqrt{n}  = \frac{z_{a} S.D}{maximum error}

Squaring on both sides , we get

n  = (\frac{z_{a} S.D}{maximum error})^2

Given 99% confidence interval (z value) = 2.56

given maximum error = 0.02

n  = (\frac{z_{a} p(1-p)}{maximum error})^2

n≤ (\frac{2.56X\frac{1}{2} }{0.02}) ^{2}    ( here S.D = p(1-p) ≤ 1/2

on simplification , we get n = 4225

<u>Conclusion</u>:

The sample size of two samples is  n = 4225

<u>verification</u>:-

We will use maximum error formula = \frac{z_{a} S.D}{\sqrt{n} } = \frac{2.56 1/2}{\ \sqrt{4225} }  = 0.0196

substitute all values and simplify we get maximum error is 0.02

<h3>Mean of a data.</h3>

Mean is one of the measure of dispersion and is the avearage of a set of data.

According to the question, the magazine reports that the most common gas mileage was 24 mpg. This shows that reports have published several gas mileages for cars and truck and the average of this mileage is 24mpg

It shows that the values of the mileages are close to 24 mpg. Hence statistics refes 24 as the mean.
