Sample Size: non-proportion and proportion data You would like to determine the average diameter of a cylindrical pin that is manufactured by your company. How many samples would we need to collect if we wish to be 97% confident that the sample mean will be within 0.0005 inch of the true mean given that the population has a standard deviation of 0.0015 inch and is approximately normally distributed.
Using confidence intervals to determine how many samples you’ll need to collect so the average voltage will be within the desired accuracy. This will take some assumptions and some work. So, here goes: The confidence interval (CI) equation is: Assume that the voltage you are measuring has a true mean (of course we don’t know the actual mean or true value, but that’s OK) of approximately 1 volt. Next, suppose you desire to know your average () vs “true” value...
15. Sheldon Cooper is fluent in Klingon (including knowing how to say “Revenge is a dish best served cold” to Wil Wheaton). It got him to think about how many people are fluent in the language. If Sheldon would like to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of people that are fluent, and would like his interval to be no more than 10 percentage points in width, how large a sample should he take?
You are a politician and would like to know how the percentage of people that support your proposition. You go out and get a random sample of 1000 register voters that are likely to vote in the upcoming election and find out that 300 of them will vote for your proposition. Based upon your observed sample proportion, how many voters would you need to sample if you wanted your margin of error to be 7% with 99% confidence? a) 57...
