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

ortions 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 98% confidence level and for the error to be smaller than 0.02.
b) Again find the sample size required, as in part (a), but with the knowledge that a similar student last year found that the proportion of boys afraid of spiders is 0.45 and the proportion of girls afraid of spiders was 0.58.

Answer:

(a) The sample sizes are 6787.

(b) The sample sizes are 6666.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The information provided is:

Confidence level = 98%

MOE = 0.02

n₁ = n₂ = n

\hat p_{1} = \hat p_{2} = \hat p = 0.50\ (\text{Assume})

Compute the sample sizes as follows:

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

       n=\frac{2\times\hat p(1-\hat p)\times (z_{\alpha/2})^{2}}{MOE^{2}}

          =\frac{2\times0.50(1-0.50)\times (2.33)^{2}}{0.02^{2}}\\\\=6786.125\\\\\approx 6787

Thus, the sample sizes are 6787.

(b)

Now it is provided that:

\hat p_{1}=0.45\\\hat p_{2}=0.58

Compute the sample size as follows:

MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p_{1})+\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p_{2})}{n}

       n=\frac{(z_{\alpha/2})^{2}\times [\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p_{1})+\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p_{2})]}{MOE^{2}}

          =\frac{2.33^{2}\times [0.45(1-0.45)+0.58(1-0.58)]}{0.02^{2}}\\\\=6665.331975\\\\\approx 6666

Thus, the sample sizes are 6666.

I JUST NEED THESE 3 QUESTIONS
Sidana [21]

Answer:  

 

1.     What is the period and the amplitude of the sine function representing the position of the band members as they begin to play?

Answer:  Amplitude is 80 ft, period is 60 ft.

 

2.     Edna is sitting in the stands and is facing Darla. Edna observes that sine curve begins by increasing at the far left of the field. What is the equation of the sine function representing the position of band members as they begin to play?

Answer:  y = 80cos(x*π/30)+80

 

3.     As the band begins to play, band members move away from the edges, and the curve reverses so that the function begins at the far left by decreasing. Darla does not move. The sine curve is now half as tall as it was originally. What is the equation of the sine curve representing the position of the band members after these changes?

Answer: y = 40cos(x*π/30)+80

 

4.     Next, the entire band moves closer to the edge of the football field so that the sine curve is in the lower half of the football field from Edna’s vantage point. What is the equation of the sine curve representing the position of the band members after these changes?

Answer:  y = 40cos(x*π/30)+40
