Question

For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding.

A random sample of 5300 permanent dwellings on an entire reservation showed that 1557 were traditional hogans.

(a) Let p be the proportion of all permanent dwellings on the entire reservation that are traditional hogans. Find a point estimate for p. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)


(b) Find a 99% confidence interval for p. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Give a brief interpretation of the confidence interval.

1% of the confidence intervals created using this method would include the true proportion of traditional hogans.1% of all confidence intervals would include the true proportion of traditional hogans.    99% of the confidence intervals created using this method would include the true proportion of traditional hogans.99% of all confidence intervals would include the true proportion of traditional hogans.

(c) Do you think that np > 5 and nq > 5 are satisfied for this problem? Explain why this would be an important consideration.

No, the conditions are not satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p is approximately binomial.No, the conditions are not satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p is approximately normal.    Yes, the conditions are satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p is approximately normal.Yes, the conditions are satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p is approximately binomial.

Explanation / Answer

a)p=1557/5300 =0.2938

std error =(p(1-p)/n)1/2 =0.0063

for 99% CI, z=2.5758

hence lower limit =p-z*std error =0.278

b)upper limit =p+z*std error =0.310

c)99% of the confidence intervals created using this method would include the true proportion of traditional hogans.

d)Yes, the conditions are satisfied. This is important because it allows us to say that p is approximately normal
