7.1.35-T Question Help You are the operations manager for an airline and you are considering a higher fare level for passengers

in aisle seats. How many randomly selected air passengers must you survey? Assume that you want to be 95% confident that the sample percentage is within 3.5 percentage points of the true population percentage. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of passengers who prefer aisle seats. (Round up to the nearest integer.)​

Answer:

You must survey 784 air passengers.

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}.

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.

Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of passengers who prefer aisle seats.

This means that \pi = 0.5, which is when the largest sample size will be needed.

Within 3.5 percentage points of the true population percentage.

We have to find n for which M = 0.035. So

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

0.035 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.035\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.035}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.035})^2

n = 784

You must survey 784 air passengers.

1. A new brand of hot dog claims to have a lower sodium content than the leading brand.
kherson [118]

Answer:

(a) Population mean = 314.5mg

(b) Margin of error = 21.281mg

(c) No, 350mg is not a plausible value

The new brand of hot dog has a lower sodium content on average than the leading brand

(d) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Population mean = (370+326+322+297+326+289+293+264+327+331)/10 = 3145/10 = 314.5mg

(b) Margin of error = t×sd/√n

sd = 29.73, n = 10, degree of freedom = n-1 = 10-1 = 9

Assuming 95% confidence level

t-value corresponding to 9 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level is 2.262

Margin of error = 2.262×29.73/√10 = 21.281mg

(c) No

Lower limit of new brand = 314.5 - 21.281 = 293.219mg

Upper limit = 314.5 + 21.281 = 335.781mg

The range of sodium content for the new brand of hot dog is between 293.219mg and 335.781mg which is lower than the leading brand (350mg)

(d) Margin of error = t×sd/√n

From the formula above, margin of error varies inversely as the square root of sample size

The smaller the sample size (n = 10) the larger the margin of error and the less accurate is the population mean

The larger the sample size (n = 40) the smaller the margin of error and the more accurate is the population mean
