estimate the proportion with precision of 3%, and 90% confidence.

2. The administration at a college wishes to estimate, the proportion of all its entering freshmen
who graduate within four years, with 95% confidence. Estimate the minimum size sample
required. Assume that the population standard deviation is σ = 1.3 and precision level is 0.05.
Let n be the minimum size sample required:
3. A government agency wishes to estimate the proportion of drivers aged 16–24 who have
been involved in a traffic accident in the last year. It wishes to make the estimate to within 1%
error and at 90% confidence. Find the minimum sample size required, using the information that
several years ago the proportion was 0.12.
Z = 1.645 e = 0.01 p = 0.12

4. An internet service provider wishes to estimate, to within one percentage error, the current
proportion of all email that is spam, with 85% confidence. Last year the proportion that was
spam was 71%. Estimate the minimum size sample required if the total email that is spam is
10,000.
Z = 1.44 e = 0.01 p = 0.71

III. Determine the type of

sampling. (ex. Simple
Random Sampling, Purposive Sampling)
Systematic Sampling 1. To determine customer opinion of its boarding policy,

divides up the day into four parts: morning, midday, evening, and late night. He then measures
his Internet connection speed at 5 randomly selected times during each part of the day.
Cluster Sampling 9. A college official divides the student population into five
classes:
freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, and graduate student. The official takes a simple random
sample from each class and asks the members opinions regarding student services.
Multi-Stage Sampling 10. In the game of lotto, 6 balls are selected from a
container with 42 balls.

IV. Using proportional allocation, determine the sample size needed for every school. The total
population of students is 10,679, and the minimum sample is 2,450.
