You work for a marketing firm that has a large client in the automobile industry. You have been asked to
estimate the proportion of households in Chicago that have two or more vehicles. You have been assigned
to gather a random sample that could be used to estimate this proportion to within a 0.025 margin of error
at a 99% level of confidence.
a) With no prior research, what sample size should you gather in order to obtain a 0.025 margin of error?
Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.
n =
households
b) Your firm has decided that your plan is too expensive, and they wish to reduce the sample size required.
You conduct a small preliminary sample, and you obtain a sample proportion of p=0.21. Using this new
information. what sample size should you gather in order to obtain a 0.025 margin of error? Round your
answer up to the nearest whole number.
n =
households

It helps to determine if a result from an experiment or survey is due to chance, or if it is genuine and significant. Think of an experiment or a survey that you have conducted or will conduct in your field of interest and use it to discuss the following questions: 1. Describe the importance of power analysis in an experiment. 2. How will you determine the appropriate significance level for a power analysis? 3. Explain, in your own words, how you will conduct a power analysis in your experiment or survey.arrow_forward
