Based on historical data in Oxnard college, we believe that 45%
of freshmen do not visit their counselors regularly. For this year,
you would like to obtain a new sample to estimate the proportiton
of freshmen who do not visit their counselors regularly. You would
like to be 98% confident that your estimate is within 3% of the
true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?
Do not round mid-calculation.
Solution:
Given in the question
P(freshmen do not visit their counselors regularly) = 0.45
Confidence level = 0.98
level of significance()
= 1 - confidence level = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02
/2 = 0.02/2 = 0.01
From Z table we found Zalpha/2 = 2.32635
Margin of error (E) = 0.03
Sample size required can be calculated as
Sample size(n) = (Z/2
/E)^2 * (p*(1-p)) = (2.32635/0.03)^2 * (0.45*(1-0.45)) = (77.575)^2
* 0.2475 = 1488.274 or 1489
So sample size required = 1489

According to the Oxnard College Student Success Committee report in the previous year, we believe that 21% of students struggle in their classes because they don't spend more than 8 hours studying independently outside of a 4-unit class. For this year, you would like to obtain a new sample to estimate the proportiton of all Oxnard students who struggle in their classes because they don't study enough outside of the classrooms. You would like to be 99% confident that your...
