Five hundred randomly selected adult residents in Sacramento are surveyed to determine whether they believe children should have

limited smartphone access. Of the 500 people surveyed, 381 responded yes - they believe children should have limited smartphone access.
You wish to estimate a population mean y with a known population standard devi- ation o = 3.5. If you want the error bound E of a 95% confidence interval to be less than 0.001, how large must the sample size n be?

Answer:

The sample size must be of 47,059,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a p-value of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation:

\sigma = 3.5

If you want the error bound E of a 95% confidence interval to be less than 0.001, how large must the sample size n be?

This is n for which M = 0.001. So

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.001 = 1.96\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{n}}

0.001\sqrt{n} = 1.96*3.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*3.5}{0.001}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*3.5}{0.001})^2

n = 47059600

The sample size must be of 47,059,600.
