Answer:

Distribution is NOT binomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to be a binomial distribution, the probability of success for each individual trial must be the same. Since each marksman hits the target with probability Pi, the probability of success (hitting the target) is not necessarily equal for all trials. Therefore, the distribution is not binomial.

In this case, the distribution would only be binomial if Pi was the same for every "ith" marksman.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

a) n=\frac{0.675(1-0.675)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.64})^2}=1475.07

And rounded up we have that n=1476

b) n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.64})^2}=1681

And rounded up we have that n=1681

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})  

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}} (a)  

If solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2} (b)  

Part a

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:  

z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.64  

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.02 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.675(1-0.675)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.64})^2}=1475.07

And rounded up we have that n=1476

Part b

For this case since we don't have a prior estimate we can use \hat p =0.5

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.64})^2}=1681

And rounded up we have that n=1681
