QUESTION#1

Solution:

Given that

n=100

Applying the formula

p(1−p)
m = z* √
n

when:

A) P= 0.1

For a 95% confidence interval, the corresponding z value is 1.96

0.1(1−0.1)
m = 1.96 ×√ = 0.0588
100
Solving for other p values with interval of 95% with the same formula

B) P= 0.3

m= 1.96 × 0.0458 = 0.08982

C) P= 0.5

m= 1.96 × 0.05 = 0.098

D) P= 0.7

m= 1.96 × 0.0458 = 0.08982

E) P=0.9

m= 1.96 × 0.03 = 0.0588

F) The largest margin of error is produced by P value of 0.5 followed by 0.6 and 0.4 respectively
QUESTION#2

Solution:

Given that:

n = 900

p = 0.51

X = 0.51 × 900 = 459

Pint estimate is about 459 voters who thing the US should decrease the number of legal
immigrants

By applying the formula

p ( 1− p )
SE =
√ n

0.51(1−0.51)
=√ = 0.01666
900

The margin of error m = z* SE

Considering 95% confidence interval.

= 1.96 × 0.0166

= 0.03266

QUESTION#3

Solution:

Given that

n = 500

X = 68

For a 95% confidence interval.

With Formula
 X
P=
n

= 68/500

= 0.136

0.136 is the estimate proportion for sports utility vehicles.

QUESTION#4

Solution:

Given That:

For sample one:

X= 126

n=180

P1 = X/n = 126/ 180 = 0.7

For sample two:

N= 100

X= 54

P2 = X/n = 54/100 = 0.54

D = p1 – p2 = 0.7 – 0.54 = 0.16

p1 ( 1− p 1 ) + p 2(1− p 2)
SE = (
√ n1
¿
n2
)¿

0.7 ( 1−0.7 ) +0.54 (1−0.54)

√
= (
180
¿
100
)¿

= 0.06042

For a given confidence interval of 90%

By using formula

M= z* SE

= 1.645 × 0.06042 = 0.09939

With formula

D±m

= 0.16 ± 0.09939

= (0.25939; 0.0606)

For a 90% confidence interval difference in proportion is between 0.0606 and 0.25939
