a)Find the approximate 95% confidence limits for the proportion of families buying the magazine.
b)Estimate the additional number of families to be contacted if the probability that the estimated proportion is in error by more than 0.01 is to be at most 1%
Answer: a)0.36+-9.408x10^-3
b)n=5277

x~B(n,p)
alpha=0.05
n=10000,
p=3600/10000=0.36
q=1-p=0.64
u=np=3600
sigma=sqrt(npq)
1-alpha=P(|x-u|<1.96*sigma/sqrt(n))
|x-u|<1.96*sigma/sqrt(n)
x between u(+-)1.96*sigma/sqrt(n)=3600(+-)0.9408
average =x/n=0.36(+-)0.9408*10(-3) |
