Determine the sample size needed to construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the population proportion when p = 0.65 and
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

n=170

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

n random sample taken (variable of interest)

\hat p=0.65 estimated proportion.

p true population

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.64

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.06 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{(\frac{0.06}{1.64})^2}=169.968  

And rounded up we have that n=170

Nathan had an infection, and his doctor wanted him to take penicillin. Because Nathan’s father and paternal grandfather were all
Art [367]
Nathan has an infection and he needs to be treated with penicillin
But there’s a 75% probability of him being allergic to penicillin
And to test if the skin reacts to penicillin, the test is 98% accuracy
So even if he has the allergy the test is only 98% accurate of identifying the allergy
Therefore we are asked to find the probability of both these events happening
Event 1 and event 2 both should happen then. When the ‘and’ function is used in probabilities then the probabilities of both events happening should be multiplied
Therefore probability that Nathan has the allergy and test predicts it is
= 75% x 98% = 0.735
The answer is D. 0.735
