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 =...
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...
A pollster believes that 20% of the voters in a certain area favor a bond issue. If 100 voters are randomly sampled from the large number of voters in this area, approximate the probability that the sampled fraction of voters favoring the bond issue will not differ from the true fraction by more than 0.02. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
A survey organization is going to take a simple random sample of ? voters from among all the voters in a state, to construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of voters who favor a proposition. Find an ? such that the total width of the confidence interval (left end to right end) will be no more than 0.06. Remember that you can bound the variance of an indicator.
A survey of 976 voters in one state reveals that 478 favor approval of an issue before the legislature. Construct the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of all voters in the state who favor approval. A. 0.440 < p < 0.540 B. 0.458 < p < 0.521 C. 0.487 < p < 0.493 D. 0.464 < p < 0.516 From the results in the problems above, we can say that - A. At this confidence level, it's too...
