Do flexible schedules reduce the demand for resources? A government health department experiments with a flexible four-day work week. For a year, the department recorded the mileage driven by 11 field workers on an ordinary five-day work week. Then, it changed to a flexible four-day work week and recorded mileage for another year. The resulting sample had a standard deviation of 1111.3. How big should the sample have been to narrow the width of the reported 95% confidence interval to 600 miles? Use the sample standard deviation as your standard deviation guess.
Solution:
Given:
Standard deviation = s = 1111.3
c = confidence level = 95%
Width of confidence interval = 600 miles
then
Margin of Error = E= Width / 2 = 600 / 2= 300 miles
We have to find sample size n.
Formula:
is unknown , but we use its estimate sample standard deviation
s.
We need to find zc value for c=95% confidence level.
Find Area = ( 1 + c ) / 2 = ( 1 + 0.95) /2 = 1.95 / 2 = 0.9750
Look in z table for Area = 0.9750 or its closest area and find z value.
Area = 0.9750 corresponds to 1.9 and 0.06 , thus z critical value = 1.96
That is : Zc = 1.96
Thus
