You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population proportion. At this point in time, you have no reasonable estimate for the

population proportion. You would like to be 98% confident that you esimate is within 0.1% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?

Answer:

A sample size of at least 1,353,733 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , 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 .

The margin of error is:

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

98% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.02, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99, so Z = 2.327.  

You would like to be 98% confident that you esimate is within 0.1% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?

We need a sample size of at least n.

n is found when M = 0.001.

Since we don't have an estimate for the proportion, we use the worst case scenario, that is \pi = 0.5

So

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

0.001 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.001\sqrt{n} = 2.327*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327*0.5}{0.001}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.327*0.5}{0.001})^{2}

n = 1353732.25

Rounding up

A sample size of at least 1,353,733 is required.

jeyben [28]
We know that
surface area of sphere=4*pi*r²
r=√[surface area/(4*pi)]
for surface area=27648
r=√[27648/(4*3)]-------> r=√2304-----> r=48 units

volume of a sphere=(4/3)*pi*r³-----> (4/3)*3*48³---> 442638 units³

the answer is
