Question

Questions 14-17 are based on the following information

Among all adult Indiana residents 85% are high school graduates. Answer questions 14-17 based on sampling distribution of P for random samples of n=520 Indiana residents.

14.) The fraction of sample proportions obtained from samples of size n=520 that fall between +-0.04 (4 percentage points) from the population porportion PIE is ___

15.) The fraction of sample proportions obtained from samples of size n = 750 that fall within ±0.03 (3 percentage points) from is _________.

16.)The lower and upper ends of the interval which contains the middle 95% of all sample proportion obtained from samples of size n = 600 are: p = _______, p = _______

A.) 0.835;0.865

B.) 0.831;0.869

C.) 0.821;0.879

D.) 0.812;0.888

17.) In the previous question, in order the obtain a margin of error of ±0.02 (MOE = 0.02) for the middle interval that contains the middle 95% of all sample proportions, the minimum sample is: n = ______.

A.) 1225

B.) 1245

C.) 1265

Questions 14-17 are based on the following information

Among all adult Indiana residents 85% are high school graduates. Answer questions 14-17 based on sampling distribution of P for random samples of n=520 Indiana residents.

14.) The fraction of sample proportions obtained from samples of size n=520 that fall between +-0.04 (4 percentage points) from the population porportion PIE is ___

0.9476

0.9742

Answer: 0.9892

0.9938

n=520, standard error =sqrt(0.85*0.15/520) =0.0157

z=0.04/0.0157 =2.55

fall between +-0.04 = P( -2.55<z<2.55) = P( z <2.55) – P( z < -2.55)

=0.9946-0.0054 =0.9892

15.) The fraction of sample proportions obtained from samples of size n = 750 that fall within ±0.03 (3 percentage points) from is _________.

Answer: 0.9792

0.9452

0.9232

0.8764

n=750, standard error =sqrt(0.85*0.15/750) =0.0130

z=0.03/0.0130=2.31

fall between +-0.03 = P( -2.31<z<2.31) = P( z <2.31) – P( z < -2.31)

=0.9896-0.0104=0.9792

16.)The lower and upper ends of the interval which contains the middle 95% of all sample proportion obtained from samples of size n = 600 are: p = _______, p = _______

A.) 0.835;0.865

B.) 0.831;0.869

Answer: C.) 0.821;0.879

D.) 0.812;0.888

17.) In the previous question, in order the obtain a margin of error of ±0.02 (MOE = 0.02) for the middle interval that contains the middle 95% of all sample proportions, the minimum sample is: n = ______.

Answer: A.) 1225

B.) 1245

C.) 1265

D.) 1285

1.96*sqrt(0.85*0.15/n) =0.02

0.85*0.15/n=0.02^2/1.96^2

n=1224.5 = 1225( rounded)

0.9476
