After calculating the sample size needed to estimate a population proportion to within 0.05, you have been told that the maximum

allowable error (E) must be reduced to just 0.025. If the original calculation led to a sample size of 1000, the sample size will now have to be

Answer:  40000

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2, where p is the prior estimate of the population proportion.

Here we can see that the sample size is inversely proportion withe square of margin of error.

i.e. n\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{E^2}

By the equation inverse variation, we have

n_1E_1^2=n_2E_2^2

Given : E_1=0.05   n_1=1000

E_2=0.025

Then, we have

(1000)(0.05)^2=n_2(0.025)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2.5=0.000625n_2\\\\\Rightarrow\ n_2=\dfrac{2.5}{0.000625}=4000

Hence, the sample size will now have to be 4000.

11.1.30<br> How many three-digit even numbers are possible if the leftmost digit cannot be zero?
Ann [662]

The total number of 3 digit even numbers is 450

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

We need to determine the  number of 3 digit numbers which is even and the leftmost digit is not zero .

The  3 digits with left most digit not equal to zero starts from 100 and goes up to 998

If we consider only the even 3 digit numbers in this interval, this would form an arithmetic progression with the first number a = 100 and the common difference d = 2.

Step 2:

The last number l  in this series is 998 .

So we have

a = 100

l = 998

d = 2

The nth term in the arithmetic progression is given by a + (n-1) d

so substituting the above values we get

100 + (n-1) 2 = 998

2n = 900  => n = 450

Step 3 :

Answer :

The total number of 3 digit even numbers is 450
