Which of the following is not necessary to determine the size of a sample of a population?
a. size of the population
b. the level of confidence in the estimation of the population
parameter
c. an estimate of the variation of the population
d. the maximum error allowed in the estimation of the population
parameter
as sample size required n =(z/margin of error)2*std deviation ; therefore it depends upon level of confidence ; variance and maximum error allowed.
option A is correct

To determine an appropriate sample size to obtain from a population, what must be considered? O A. Maximum allowable error, level of confidence, standard deviation. B. Standard deviation, level of confidence, population size. OC. Level of confidence, population size, maximum allowable error OD. Population size, maximum allowable error, standard deviation.

11. Which of the following conditions does not allow you to use the formula Xtza to estimate u? a. b. C. d. Population is normally distributed and the population variance is known. Population is not normally distributed but n is large; population variance is known. Population has any distribution and n is any size. All of these choices allow you to use the formula 12. The larger the confidence level, the a. smaller the value of...
Question 12 Which of the following would decrease the sample size? a. Decrease noncoverage error b. Increase the variance C. Lower the confidence level d. Decrease the population size e. Tighten the margin of error (make it smaller)
Please give
explanation.................................................
Multiple Choice. Select the best response 1. An estimator is said to be consistent if a. the difference between the estimator and the population parameter grows smaller as the sample b. C. d. size grows larger it is an unbiased estimator the variance of the estimator is zero. the difference between the estimator and the population parameter stays the same as the sample size grows larger 2. An unbiased estimator of a population parameter is defined as...
Determine the sample size needed to construct a 95% confidence interval to estimate the average GPA for the student population at a college with a margin of error equal to 0.2. Assume the standard deviation of the GPA for the student population is 25 The sample size needed is (Round up to the nearest integer.) Determine the sample size n needed to construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the population proportion for the following sample proportions when the margin...

1. A random sample of size n is drawn from a population that is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8. The sample mean is found to be 50. 1.a) Construct a 98% confidence interval (CI) for the population mean uif the sample size is 16. The critical value used is The (margin of) error for the 98% confidence interval (C.I.) is The resulting Cl is 1.b) Construct a 95% confidence interval for the population mean u if the...
Video 8.13 gorithmic) The following sample data are from a normal population: 10, 8, 12, 15, 13, 11, 6, 5. a. What is the point estimate of the population mean? b. What is the point estimate of the population standard deviation (to 2 decimals)? le with 95% confidence, what is the margin of error for the estimation of the population mean (to 1 decimal)? d, what is the 95% confidence interval for the population mean (to 1 decimal)? Suppose a...
Which statement about a confidence interval estimate of is true? A. Increasing the sample size decreases the error margin. B. Increasing the level of confidence decreases the error margin. OC. Decreasing the error margin makes the confidence interval wider. OD. Increasing the population mean increases the error margin, QUESTION 10 The fishing industry is interested in the mean weight of salmon caught by a certain fishing company. From previous years' data, the standard deviation of the weights of salmon caught...
