Let p̂ be the sample proportion of voters intending to
vote
32 out of 50 intend to vote
p̂ = 32/50 = 0.64
Confidence interval for population proportion is given
by
where n is the sample size
z is the z score
Margin of Error = 0.08
For 97%, α = 0.03, α/2 = 0.015
From the z-tables, or Excel function NORM.S.INV(α/2)
z = NORM.S.INV(0.015) = 2.17
(We take the positive value for
calculations)
To find 'n'
n = 169.52
n = 170 …Rounding up
Additional voters to be sampled = 170 - 50 =
120
The region should sample 120 additional voters

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 38 of them intended to vote in the election. Determine the additional number of voters that need to be sampled to construct a 98% interval with a margin of error equal to 0.08 to estimate the proportion. The region should sample additional voters. (Round up to the nearest integer.)
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.
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...
Suppose a hospital would like to estimate the proportion of patients who feel that physicians who care for them always communicated effectively when discussing their medical care. A pilot sample of 40 patients found that 22 reported that their physician communicated effectively. Determine the additional number of patients that need to be sampled to construct a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error equal to 8% to estimate this proportion. the additional patients that need to be sampled is...
8. A campaign researcher would like to estimate the proportion of registered voters that will vote for his candidate. He runs a poll each week asking registered voters their candidate preference and calculates a 95% confidence interval to estimate the true proportion of registered voters that will vote for his candidate. On week 39 his confidence interval was (0.52, 0.56). On week 40 (the last week of the campaign) he wants to conduct one final poll. He would like his...
