In preparing a report on the economy, we need to estimate the percentage of businesses that plan to hire additional employees in the next 60 days.
a) How many randomly selected employers must we contact in order to create an estimate in which we are 99% confident with a margin of error of 99%?
b) Suppose we want to reduce the margin of error to 44%. What sample size will suffice?
c) Why might it not be worth the effort to try to get an interval with a margin of error of 11%?
a) p = q = 0.50
For 99% confidence, z = 2.576
E = 0.09
Hence,
Sample size
n = 205
b) p = q = 0.50
For 99% confidence, z = 2.576
E = 0.04
Hence,
Sample size
n = 1037
c) Because for 1% margin of error, the sample size will be very high i.e. 16590

Editors preparing a report on the economy are trying to estimate the percentage of businesses that plan to hire additional employees in the next 60 days. They are willing to accept a margin of error of 77% but want 99% confidence. How many randomly selected employers will they need to contact? n=
The population standard deviation for the height of college basketball players is 3.2 inches. If we want to estimate 99% confidence interval for the population mean height of these players with a 0.4 margin of error, how many randomly selected players must be surveyed?
We intend to estimate the average driving time of Chicago commuters. From a previous study, we believe that the average time is 42 minutes with a standard deviation (o) of 6 minutes. our 99 percent confidence interval to have a margin of error of no more than plus or minus 2 minutes. What is the smallest sample size that we should consider? We want O 120 O 12 60 08
The population standard deviation for the height of college basketball players is 2.9 inches. If we want to estimate 99% confidence interval for the population mean height of these players with a 0.5 margin of error, how many randomly selected players must be surveyed? ____ (Round up your answer to nearest whole number)
A cruise company would like to estimate the average beer consumption to plan its beer inventory levels on future seven-day cruises. (The ship certainly doesn't want to run out of beer in the middle of the ocean!) The average beer consumption over 15 randomly selected seven-day cruises was 81,784 bottles with a sample standard deviation of 4,549 bottles. A. Construct a 99% confidence interval to estimate the average beer consumption per cruise The 99% confidence interval to estimate the average...
9) We intend to estimate the average driving time of a group of commuters. From a previous study, we believe that the average time is 42 minutes with a standard deviation of 10 minutes. We want our 99 percent confidence interval to have a margin of error of no more than plus or minus 2 minutes. What is the smallest sample size that we should consider? A) 332 9) B) 166 C) 13 D) 17
QUESTION 21 If we change a 90% confidence interval estimate to a 99% confidence interval estimate while holding sample size constant, we can expect a. the width of the confidence interval to increase. b. the width of the confidence interval to decrease. c. the width of the confidence interval to remain the same. d. the sample size to increase. QUESTION 22 Which one of the following is a correct statement about the probability distribution of a t random variable? a....
