A random sample of elementary school children in New York state is to be selected to estimate the proportion p who have received

a medical examination during the past year. An interval estimate of the proportion p with a margin of error of 0.06 0.06 and 99% 99 % confidence is required.

Answer:

The minimum sample size required is 461.

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}}

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

An interval estimate of the proportion p with a margin of error of 0.06. What is the minimum sample size required?

The minimum sample size required is n, which is found when M = 0.06.

We don't have an estimate for the true proportion, which means that we use \pi = 0.5. So

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

0.06 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.06\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.5}{0.06}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*0.5}{0.06})^2

n = 460.5

Rounding up

The minimum sample size required is 461.

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume that the volume = 88 cubic feet

Then:

L = 3w --- (1)volume = l \times w \times h \\ \\ 88 =  (3w)   \times w  \times h \\ \\ 3w^2 h= 88 \\ \\ h = \dfrac{88}{3w^2}--- (2) \\ \\

The construction cost now is:

C = 4(l \times w) + 2 ( w  \times h) + 2(l \times h) \\ \\ C = 4(3w^2) + 2(w  \times \dfrac{88}{3w^2}) + 2(3w \times \dfrac{88}{3w^2}) \\\\ C = 12w^2 + \dfrac{176}{3w} + \dfrac{176}{w}

Now, to determine the minimum cost:

\dfrac{dC}{dw}= 0  \\ \\ \implies 24 w - \dfrac{176}{3w^2}- \dfrac{176}{w^2}=0 \\ \\ 24 w ^3 = \dfrac{176}{w^2}(\dfrac{1}{3}+1) \\ \\ 24 w ^3 = \dfrac{176(4)}{3} \\ \\ w^3 = \dfrac{88}{3(3)}

w = \dfrac{88}{3(3)}^{1/3} \ feet

Now;

length = 3 ( \dfrac{88}{3(3)})^{1/3} \ feet

height = ( 88})^{1/3} (3)^{1/3} \ feet
