Solution :
Given that,
= 0.5
1 - = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
margin of error = E = 0.04
At 95% confidence level the z is ,
= 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05
/ 2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025
Z/2 = Z0.025 = 1.96 ( Using z table )
Sample size = n = (Z/2 / E)2 * * (1 - )
= (1.96 / 0.04)2 * 0.5 * 0.5
= 600.25
Sample size =601
of voters who will vote for Donald Trump in the next presidential election. How large does...
1 In the November 2016 election, Donald Trump received 49% of the votes cast in Florida (Hillary Clinton received 47%). Many news organizations conduct surveys before elections to try to predict the winner. Suppose a survey was conducted in Florida shortly before the election such that we can assume that the true proportion of the population who planned to vote for Trump was 49%. The pollsters surveyed 600 likely voters and found that 283 of them planned to vote for...
In Summer 2016, a consulting firm surveyed 100 UMD students for their selections of presidential candidates. Of the 100 students, 21 selected Hilary Clinton, and 16 selected Donald Trump. Based on the sample (assuming that the sample well represents young voters), we can estimate that 1. 95% confidence interval of the percentage of you ng people selecting Hilary is from % to % (answer format: XX.X); 2. 95% confidence interval of the percentage of you ng people selecting Donald Trump...
5) In a recent presidential election, 500 voters were surveyed and 350 of them said that they voted for the candidate who won. a. Construct a 96% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of voters who said they voted for the candidate who won. b. How many voters must they survey if they want 90% confidence that the sample proportion is in error by no more than 0.02?
A certain region would like to estimate the proportion of voters who intend to participate in upcoming elections. A pilot sample of 50 voters found that 32 of them intended to vote in the election. Determine the additional number of voters that need to be sampled to construct a 95% interval with a margin of error equal to 0.04 to estimate the proportion. The region should sample _____ additional voters.
Suppose we conduct a poll to estimate the proportion of voters who favor a major presidential candidate. Assuming that 50 percent of the electorate could be in favor of the candidate, determine the sample size needed so that we are 95 percent confident that pˆ , the sample proportion of voters who favor the candidate, is within a margin of error of .01 of p, the population proportion of all voters who are in favor of the candidate. n =...
The proportion of eligible voters in the next election who will vote for the incumbent is assumed to be 53.7%. What is the probability that in a random sample of 440 voters, less than 218 say they will vote for the incumbent? Remember to use the continuity correction and calculate z-scores to at least 3 decimal places. Give probabilities to 4 decimal places.
A) A certain region would like to estimate the proportion of voters who intend to participate in upcoming elections. A pilot sample of 25 voters found that 17 of them intended to vote in the election. Determine the additional number of voters that need to be sampled to construct a 95% interval with a margin of error equal to 0.06 to estimate the proportion. The region should sample ____ additional voters. B) Determine the sample size needed to construct a...
uan wants to estimate the percentage of people who will vote for issue A on the next election. He surveys 150 Individuals and finds that 81 will vote for issue A. Find the margin of error for the confidence interval for the population proportion with a 90% confidence level. Z0.10 Z0.05 0.0251 z0.01 0.005 1.2821 1 :645| 1.960||2.326|2.576 Use the table of common z-scores above. Round the final answer to three decimal places uan wants to estimate the percentage of...
A polling firm called 1,000 likely voters to ask about their political preferences. Of those polled, 520 indicated that they would vote for the incumbent candidate. Determine the point estimate for the proportion of voters in the election district who will vote for the incumbent.What is the sampling distribution for p in this example?Approximately how many voters must be polled for a margin of error equal to .01, assuming a confidence level of 95%? Show your work.
In a random sample of 100 registered voters, 20 say they plan to vote for Candidate A.Determine a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all the registered voters who will vote for Candidate A.You are interested in knowing support for candidate by gender to provide strategic advice to candidate B. Suppose your guess based on previous knowledge is that female support for candidate B is around 20 percent, and male support for candidate B is around 50 percent. Suppose...
