Exercise 9.53

A. A random sample of 200 voters in a town is selected, and 114 are found to support an annexation suit. Find the 96% confidence interval for the fraction of the voting population favoring the suit.

B. What can we assert with 96% confidence about the possible size of our error if we estimate the fraction of voters favoring the annexation suit to be 0.57?

Answer:

The First question

                    [tex] n = 1879  [/tex]

A

    The 96% confidence interval is  

                      [tex]0.51 <  p <  0.63 [/tex]

B

   The possible size of our error if we estimate the fraction of voters favoring the annexation suit to be 0.57 is  

           [tex]E =    0.06 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The margin of error is  [tex]E = 0.02[/tex]

     The sample size is  n =  200

     The number that supported the annexation suit is  k = 114

Considering the first question

Generally our sample in Exercise 9.53 is  [tex]\^ p = 0.57[/tex]

From the question we are told the confidence level is  96% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 96 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.04[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.751 [/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p ) [/tex]

=>  [tex]n = [\frac{1.751}{0.02 } ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p ) [/tex]

=>  [tex]n = [\frac{1.751}{0.02 } ]^2 * 0.57  (1 -0.57  ) [/tex]

=>  [tex] n = 1879  [/tex]

Considering question B

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

     [tex]E =  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} } [/tex]

=>  [tex]E =    1.751 * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.57  (1- 0.57 )}{200} } [/tex]

=>  [tex]E =    0.06 [/tex]

Considering question A

Generally the sample proportion of the number that supported the annexation suit is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\^ p = \frac{114}{200}[/tex]

=>      [tex]\^ p = 0.57[/tex]

Generally 96% confidence interval is mathematically represented as  

      [tex]\^ p -E <  p <  \^ p +E[/tex]

=>  [tex]0.57  - 0.06 <  p <  0.57  + 0.06 [/tex]

=>  [tex]0.51 <  p <  0.63 [/tex]
