- An IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 16 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 4 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that o = 16 and determine the required sample size using technology. Then determine if this is a reasonable sample size for a real world calculation. ... The required sample size is (Round up to the nearest integer.) Would it be reasonable to sample this number of students? No. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly large number. Yes. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly small number. No. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly small number. Yes. This number of IQ test scores is a fairly large number.arrow_forwardestimate the population proportion p,what is the minimum sample size we need in order to achieve a margin of error no more than 0.01 with a 95% cinfidence level? Similar study in the past suggest an guess of 0.1 for the value of p.arrow_forwardUse the given data to find the minimum sample size required to estimate a population proportion or percentage.

- Determine the sample size needed to be 99% confident the population proportion estimate is within 3% of the true proportion. There is no prior information regarding values for p and q.arrow_forwardWhen using bootstrapping methods, which of these statements are true? Find the three correct statements. a. Each bootstrapped resample must be the same size as the original sample b. Each bootstrapped resample must be drawn without replacement c. The original sample must be large d. The original sample must be very small e. Bootstrapping methods are good at estimating extreme percentiles, like the min or the max f. Bootstrapping methods are good at estimating measures of centrality, like the mean or medianarrow_forwardAn IQ test is designed so that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation is 13 for the population of normal adults. Find the sample size necessary to estimate the mean IQ score of statistics students such that it can be said with 95% confidence that the sample mean is within 6 IQ points of the true mean. Assume that o = 13 and determine the required sample size using technology. Then determine if this is a reasonable sample size for a real world calculation. ..... The required sample size is.
