5) In a recent presidential election, 500 voters were surveyed and 350 of them said that they voted for the candidate who won.
a. Construct a 96% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of voters who said they voted for the candidate who won.
b. How many voters must they survey if they want 90% confidence that the sample proportion is in error by no more than 0.02?
Homework Answers
p = 350/500 = 0.70
a)
z value at 96% = 2.0537
CI = p +/- z *sqrt(p*(1-p)/n)
= 0.70 +/- 2.0537 * sqrt(0.70*(1-0.70)/500)
=0.70 +/- 0.0421
= (0.6579 , 0.7421 )
b)
z value at 90% = 1.645
ME = 0.02
ME = z *sqrt(p*(1-p)/n)
n = (1.645/0.02)^2 * 0.70 *(1-0.70)
n = 1420

During the recent election, Gallup asked registered voters, through a telephone survey, if they were going to vote in the presidential election. The survey found that 220 out of the 500 voters called said that they were going to vote in the election. Determine the 92% confidence interval for the percent of registered voters that were going to vote.

1.) Voting records show that 61% of eligible voters actually did vote in a recent presidential election. In a survey of 1002 people, 70% said that they voted in that election. Use the survey results to test the claim that the percentage of all voters who say that they voted is equal to 61%. Test the claim by constructing an appropriate confidence interval. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? What is the value of = significance level? Is the...
