Franchise Business Review stated over 50% of all food franchises earn a profit of less than $50,000 a year. In a sample of 130 c

asual dining restaurants, 81 earned a profit of less than $50,000 last year. Based upon a 95% confidence interval with a desired margin of error of .04, determine a sample size for restaurants that earn less than $50,000 last year.

Answer:

We need a sample size of 564.

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}.

For this problem, we have that:

\pi = \frac{81}{130} = 0.6231

The margin of error is:

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

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Based upon a 95% confidence interval with a desired margin of error of .04, determine a sample size for restaurants that earn less than $50,000 last year.

We need a sample size of n

n is found when M = 0.04

So

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

0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6231*0.3769}{n}}

0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.6231*0.3769}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.6231*0.3769}}{0.04}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.6231*0.3769}}{0.04})^{2}

n = 563.8

Rounding up

We need a sample size of 564.
