Question
A political organization contains about 80,000 women and about 20,000 men. The organization wants to know about the percentage of women and men in the organization who support a new policy, so they separately survey 4,000 women and 1,000 men, choosing a simple random sample in each case. They then calculate the percentage of women and the percentage of men in the sample who support the policy. Fill in the blanks: The accuracy of the estimate for the women is (better than, similar to, or worse than) __________________________ the accuracy of the estimate for the men because ____________________________

- In politics, marketing, etc. we often want to estimate a percentage or proportion p. One calculation in statistical polling is the margin of error - the largest (reasonble) error that the poll could have. For example, a poll result of 72% with a margin of error of 4% indicates that p is most likely to be between 68% and 76% (72% minus 4% to 72% plus 4%). In a (made-up) poll, the proportion of people who like dark chocolate more than milk chocolate was 44% with a margin of error of 2.2%. Describe the conclusion about p using an absolute value inequality. The answer field below uses the symbolic entry option in Mobius. That lets you type in a vertical bar | to represent absolute values. Also, when you type in and then =, the symbolic entry option will automatically convert that to >.arrow_forwardYou are the operations manager for an airline and you are considering a higher fare level for passengers in aisle seats.
