QUESTION 11
Assume that the population proportion is 0.48. Compute the standard error of the proportion,
σp,
for sample sizes of 500,000; 1,000,000; 5,000,000; 10,000,000; and 100,000,000. (Round your answers to five decimal places.)What can you say about the size of the standard error of the sample proportion as the sample size is increased?
The standard error of the sample proportion,
σp,
---Select--- increases decreases and becomes extremely ---Select--- small large as the sample size becomes huge.Expert Solution

Answers may vary slightly due to rounding. The National Council of Small Businesses is interested in the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. Since there are so many small businesses, the National Council intends to estimate the proportion from a random sample. Let p be the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. (a) If no preliminary sample is taken to estimate p, how large a sample is necessary to be 99% sure that a point estimate p will be within a distance of 0.08 from p? (Round you answer up to the nearest whole number.) ]× small businesses (b) In a preliminary random sample of 30 small businesses, it was found that eleven had declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. How many more small businesses should be included in the sample to be 99% sure that a point estimate p will be within a distance of 0.080 from p?
