A researcher would like to estimate p, the proportion of U.S. adults who support recognizing civil unions between gay or lesbian

couples.
If the researcher would like to be 95% sure that the obtained sample proportion would be within 1.5% of p (the proportion in the entire population of U.S. adults), what sample size should be used?
(a) 17,778
(b) 4,445
(c) 1,112
(d) 67
(e) 45
Due to a limited budget, the researcher obtained opinions from a random sample of only 2,222 U.S. adults. With this sample size, the researcher can be 95% confident that the obtained sample proportion will differ from the true proportion (p) by no more than (answers are rounded):
(a) .04%
(b) .75%
(c) 2.1%
(d) 3%
(e) There is no way to figure this out without knowing the actual sample proportion that was obtained.

Answer:

Question 1:

(b) 4,445

Question 2:

(c) 2.1%

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 of:

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.

Question 1:

We have no previous estimate for the population proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5.

The sample size is n for which M = 0.015. So

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

0.015 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.015\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.015}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.015})^2

n = 4268

Samples above this value should be used, and the smaller sample above this value is of 4445, so the answer is given by option b.

Question 2:

Now we find M for which n = 2222.

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

M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{2222}}

M = 0.021

So 2.1%, and the correct answer is given by option c.

Answer:

1a - no

1b - yes

1c - no

2 - 1.5 grams of protein

3 - a solution to this equation tells us how many grams of protein/fat there could be depending on how many grams of the other there are. a solution to this is 6 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

1a

4(5)+9(2)=60

20+18=60

38=60

the equation is false

1b

4(10.5)+9(2)=60

42+18=60

60=60

the equation is true

1c

4(8)+9(4)=60

32+36=60

68=60

the equation is not true

2

plug in 6 for the f value

4p+9(6)=60

4p+54=60

subtract 54 from both sides

4p=6

divide both sides by 4 to get p alone

p=1.5

3

a possible solution can be seen by graphing the equation using the intercepts. the intercepts for this equation are (15,0) and (0,6.6). attached is an image of the graph. the points where the line crosses are possible solutions. the line crosses the point (6,4) on the graph, which represents 6 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat. you can also check this by plugging these values into the equation.

Gala2k [10]
If she has 10/12 and uses 8/12 then you just subtract.
Since the denominators are the same you just subtract 10-8 and get 2
the denominator is the same for your answers and so it is 
2/12
