Answer:

a)

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all adult Americans who watched streamed programming up to that point in time is (0.5336, 0.5864). This means that we are 99% sure that the true proportion of all adult Americans who watched streamed programming up to that point in time is between these two values.

b)

A sample size of 664 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

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 z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

A poll reported that 56% of 2348 American adults surveyed said they have watched digitally streamed TV programming on some type of device.

This means that \pi = 0.56, n = 2348

99% confidence level

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

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.56 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.56*0.44}{2348}} = 0.5336

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.56 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.56*0.44}{2348}} = 0.5864

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all adult Americans who watched streamed programming up to that point in time is (0.5336, 0.5864). This means that we are 99% sure that the true proportion of all adult Americans who watched streamed programming up to that point in time is between these two values.

b. What sample size would be required for the width of a 99% CI to be at most .05 irrespective of the value P?

The margin of error is of:

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

This sample size is given by n, with M = 0.05 and \pi = 0.5.

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

0.05 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.05\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.5

Dividing both sides by 0.05.

\sqrt{n} = 2.575*10

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (2.575*10)^2

n = 663.1

Rounding up:

A sample size of 664 is required.

How to convert 3.248 repeating decimal with 48 repeating into a simplified fraction
Sonja [21]

Answer:

x=\frac{536}{165}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the value of 3.2484848.... infinite times

Multiply by 100

x=3.24848....\\100x = 324.8484.....

Subtract to get

100x-x = 324.8484...-3.248484....\\99x = 321.60\\x=\frac{321.6}{99} \\x=\frac{1072}{330} \\x=\frac{536}{165}

Thus the number 3.248 repeating decimal with 48 repeating in fraction form is

\frac{536}{165}
