Transcribed Image Text:5. Sample size for an interval estimate of a population proportion
Suppose academic researchers are conducting a study to estimate the proportion of firms with a chief marketing officer in their top management
teams. The project manager desires a 0.03 margin of error at 95% confidence. The planning value for p is p* = 0.4.
Use the following Distributions tool to help you answer the question that follows.

- A study is designed to determine the effect of an office-training course on typing productivity. Fifteen typists who have not taken the course are randomly selected. The investigator assigns 20 pages of equally difficult text to be typed by each typist both before and after completing the training course. The investigator wants to find out whether the training course has reduced the number of errors by more than 10. Define d = Before − After.

- Dasani has two machines at a particular plant that are used for filling their plastic water bottles (nominal volume 16 ounces). The quality engineering department tells the plant manager that both machines fill to the same net volume (whether or not this volume averages 16.0 ounces). A random sample is taken from the output of the each machine. Table 1-Measured volume of water per bottle (fluid ounces) Machine 1 Machine 2 16.03 16.01 16.02 16.03 16.04 15.96 15.97 16.04 16.05 15.98 15.96 16.02 16.05 16.02 16.01 16.01 16.02 15.99 15.99 16.00 Do you think the quality engineering department is correct?
