In a random sample of 100 registered voters, 20 say they plan to vote for Candidate A.
Determine a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all the registered voters who will vote for Candidate A.
You are interested in knowing support for candidate by gender to provide strategic advice to candidate B. Suppose your guess based on previous knowledge is that female support for candidate B is around 20 percent, and male support for candidate B is around 50 percent. Suppose you conduct the male and females surveys separately, what should be the sample size approximately for each of the two surveys. For both surveys, you want a margin of error of ±0.03 and a 95% confidence level.
a)
Please refer standard normal distribution table for finding z value for 95% significant level.
Z=1.96
Given
Sample size=n=100
Standard error of proportion is given by
Lower bound of confidence interval is given by
Upper bound of confidence interval is given by
b)
We know z=1.96 at 95% significance level. (part a)
i)
For female
Margin of error is given by
We are given margin of error as 0.03. So,
ii)
For male
Margin of error is given by
We are given margin of error as 0.03. So,
In a random sample of 100 registered voters, 20 say they plan to vote for Candidate A. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all the registered voters who will vote for Candida...
In a random sample of 400 registrered voters, 120 indicated they plan to vote for Candidate A. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all the registered voters who will vote for Candidate A.
(20 points) A random sample of n = 1400 registered voters and found that 720 would vote for the Republican candidate in a state senate race. Let p represent the proportion of registered voters who would vote for the Republican candidate. Consider testing Ho: p= .50 H,:p> .50 e test statistic is z = (b) Regardless of what you acutally computed, suppose your answer to part (a) was z = 1.28. Using this z, p-value =
A pollster wants to find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of registered voters who support a certain candidate. If her confidence interval has to have a margin of error of at most 5.0%, then what’s the smallest random sample of registered voters she can poll?
A random sample of ?=1400 registered voters and found that 720 would vote for the Republican candidate in a state senate race. Let ? represent the proportion of registered voters who would vote for the Republican candidate. Consider testing ?0:?=.50 ??:?>.50 a) the test statistic is z = ? b) Regardless of what you actually computed, suppose your answer to part (a) was z = 1.28. Using this z, p-value =?
A random sample of ikely voters showed that 64 % planned to vote for Candidate X, with a margin of eror of 1 percentage points and with 95 % confidence, a. Use a carefully worded sentence to report the 95 % confidence interval for the percentage of voters who plan to vote for Candidate X b. Is there evidence that Candidate X could lose? c. Suppose the survey was taken on the streets of a particular city and the candidate...
In a survey of 500 likely voters, 271 responded that they would vote for the incumbent and 229 responded that they would vote for the challenger. Let pp denote the fraction of all likely voters who preferred the incumbent at the time of the survey, and let p^p^ be the fraction of survey respondents who preferred the incumbent. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for pp. Keep in mind that you should calculate the standard error making no assumptions of...
(a) Determine the mode candidate. A sample of 20 registered voters was surveyed in which the respondents were asked, "Do you think Chang, Johnson, Ohm, or Smith is most qualified to be a senator?" The results of the survey are shown in the table. Smith Chang Chang Chang Smith Ohm Ohm Ohm Smith Smith Ohm Ohm Smith Smith Ohm Johnson Chang Chang Smith Smith Smith Johnson Ohm оооо Johnson (b) Do you think it would be a good idea to...
Identify the following: x n p’ sqrt(p’*(1-p’)/n) Define the random variables X and P’ in words. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all customers who experienced an interruption in high-speed service during the previous month. You wish to conduct your own study to determine the proportion of customers who experienced an interruption in high-speed service during the previous month. What sample size would be needed for the estimate to be within 2 percentage points with 99% confidence?...
