A recent Gallup poll found that 36% of U.S. teens aged from 13 to 17 years old have a computer with [(6)] Internet access in the

ir rooms. The poll was based on a random sample of 1028 teens. (a) In words, determine the population parameter, p, that this sample is estimating. [1] (b) Produce a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion, p, and interpret what it means in [3] this context. Round your answers to three decimals. (c) How big of a sample must we take in order to ensure that we are within 1% of the true proportion [2] with 99% confidence

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The population parameter is the population proportion.

b) Confidence interval is written as

Sample proportion ± margin of error

Margin of error = z × √pq/n

Where

z represents the z score corresponding to the confidence level

p = sample proportion. It also means probability of success

q = probability of failure

q = 1 - p

p = x/n

Where

n represents the number of samples

x represents the number of success

From the information given,

n = 1028

p = 36/100 = 0.36

q = 1 - 0.36 = 0.64

To determine the z score, we subtract the confidence level from 100% to get α

α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.1

α/2 = 0.01/2 = 0.005

This is the area in each tail. Since we want the area in the middle, it becomes

1 - 0.05 = 0.995

The z score corresponding to the area on the z table is 2.58. Thus, confidence level of 99% is 2.58

Therefore, the 99% confidence interval is

0.36 ± 2.58 × √(0.36)(0.64)/1028

The lower limit of the confidence interval is

0.36 - 0.039 = 0.321

The upper limit of the confidence interval is

0.36 + 0.039 = 0.399

Therefore, with 99% confidence interval, the proportion of U.S. teens aged from 13 to 17 years old that have a computer with Internet access in their rooms is between 0.321 and 0.399

c) for a margin of error of 1%, that is 1/100 = 0.01, then

0.01 = 2.58 × √(0.36)(0.64)/n

0.01/2.58 = √0.2304/n

0.00387596899 = √0.2304/n

Square both sides

0.00001502314 = 0.2304/n

n = 0.2304/0.00001502314

n = 15336

Which stem-and-leaf plot has a median of 3.2<br><br><br><br> page.2
DiKsa [7]
Find the median of each set:-

Median is middle number of a data set. If a data set has an odd number of numbers then the median is the middle number when ordered form least to greatest but if its an even number you have to find the mean for the middle 2 numbers when ordered for least to greatest. 

A.

1.2, 2.4, 3.2, 3.2, 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.7

Even numbers = 8
3.2 + 3.6 = 6.8
6.8 ÷ 2 = 
Median = 3.4
So this shows that A isn't the answer because the median of A is 3.4, not 3.2. 

B.

1.6, 2.8, 2.9, 3.1, 3.3, 3.6, 4.2, 4.5

Even numbers = 8
3.1 + 3.3 = 6.4
6.4 ÷ 2 = 3.2
Median = 3.2
<span>So this shows that B is the answer because the median of B is 3.2.

C. 

1.8, 2.0, 2.0, 2.2, 3.2, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9
</span>
Even numbers = 8
2.2 + 3.2 = 5.4
5.4 ÷ 2 = 2.7
Median = 2.7
<span>So this shows that C isn't the answer because the median of C is 2.7, not 3.2.
</span>
D. 

1.4, 1.7, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2, 3.2, 4
Odd numbers = 9
Median = 3.1

<span>So this shows that D isn't the answer because the median of D is 3.1, not 3.2.
</span>
The stem and leaf plot which median is 3.2 is B.
