- A research survey is commissioned to estimate the proportion of UK people who have traveled to France by taking Eurostar. The survey is told that the estimate must not differ from the true proportion by more than 3% with a confidence level of 95%. How large a sample should be taken? How about at 99% confidence?arrow_forwardDetermine whether the statement below makes sense or does not make sense. Explain clearly. Based on our sample, the 95% confidence interval for the mean amount of television watched by adults in a nation is 2.9 to 4.3 hours per day. Therefore, there is 95% chance that the mean for all adults in the nation will fall somewhere in this range and a 5% chance that it will not. C Choose the correct answer below. O A. The statement makes sense. There is 5% probability that the confidence interval limits do not contain the true value of the sample mean, so the probability it does not contain the true value of the population mean is also 5%. O B. The statement does not make sense. The population mean is a fixed constant that either falls within the confidence interval or it does not. There is no probability associated with this. O C. The statement does not make sense. The probability the population mean is greater than the upper limit is 5% and the probability it is less than the lower limit is…arrow_forwardHelp on part 2arrow_forward
- Sample information: 24 out of 1000 people who were surveyed had type 2 diabetes. Use the above sample information and construct two confidence intervals (one with confidence level of 90% and the other one with confidence level of 99%) to estimate the proportion of people who have type 2 diabetes. What is the relationship between the confidence level and the size of the confidence interval? Is this significant? Why is it important to understand this concept?arrow_forwardYou plan to conduct a survey to find what proportion of the workforce has two or more jobs. You decide on the 90% confidence level and a margin of error of 2%. A pilot survey reveals that 5 of the 44 sampled hold two or more jobs. (Use t Distribution Table & z Distribution Table.) How many in the workforce should be interviewed to meet your requirements? (Round z-score to 2 decimal places. Round up your answer to the next whole number.)arrow_forwardYou want to survey students to see what proportion of them have taken Statistics 101. This survey hasn't been previously completed, so no estimate is known. How large of a sample size is necessary if we want the margin of error to be within 4% with a 95% confidence interval?arrow_forward
