Eating Out Vegetarian. Repeat Exercise 11.136by applying the formula in Exercise 11.134(a) if you can reasonably presume that at most 41%of the men sampled and at most 49%of the women sampled will be people who sometimes order veg. Compare the results obtained in Exercise 11.136to those obtained here.

  1. Without making a guess for the observed values of the sample proportions, find the common sample size that will ensure a margin of error of at most 0.01for a 90%confidence interval. Hint: Use Exercise 11.133.
  2. Find a 90%confidence interval for p1-p2if, for samples of the size determined in part (a),38.3%of the men and 43.7%of the women sometimes order veg.
  3. Determine the margin of error for the estimate in part (b), and compare it to the required margin of error specified in part (a).

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The sample size is 13309
  2. The P1-P290 percent confidence interval is (-0.0639,-0.0441)
  3. The margin of error is0.0099.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given Information

The observed values are:

p^1g=0.41,p^2g=0.49,za2=1.645,E=0.01and90%confidence interval.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation 

The sample size formula is as follows:

n=n1=n2

=p^1g1-p^1g+p^2g1-p^2gza2E2

The sample size was calculated as follows:

n=n1=n2

=p^1g1-p^1g+p^2g1-p^2gzaE2

Replace 0.41for p^1g

Replace 0.49for p^2g

1.645forzα2and0.01forEin above equation

n=(0.41(1-0.41)+0.49(1-0.49))1.6450.012=(02419+0.2499)(27060.25)=13308.231=13309

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information 

Given in the question that, the samples of the size determined in part (a), 38.3%of the men and 43.7%of the women sometimes order veg.

p^1g=0.41,p^2g=0.49,za2=1.645,E=0.01and90%confidence interval.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

The confidence interval formula is as follows:

CI=p^1-p^2±za2p^11-p^1n1+p^21-p^2n2.

For P1-P2calculated the 90%confidence interval as follows:

CI=p^1-p^2±za2p^11-p^1n1+p^21-p^2n2=(0.383-0.437)±1.6450.383(1-0.383)13309+0.437(1-0.437)13309=(-0.054)±0.0099030900=(-0.0639,-0.0441)

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information 

The observed values are:

p^1g=0.41,p^2g=0.49,za2=1.645,E=0.01and90%confidence interval.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation 

The margin of error formula is as follow:

E=zα2p^11-p^1n1+p^21-p^2n2=1.6450.383(1-0.383)13309+0.437(1-0.437)13309=1.645(0.00602)=0.0099

In discussing the sample size required for obtaining a confidence interval with a prescribed confidence level and margin of error, we made the following statement: "If we have in mind a likely range for the observed value of p^, then, in light of Fig. 11.1, we should take as our educated guess for p^the value in the range closest to 0.5"Explain why.

Margin of error=0.02

Confidence level=90%

Educated guess=0.1

(a) Obtain a sample size that will ensure a margin of error of at most the one specified (provided of course that the observed value of the sample proportion is further from 0.5that of the educated guess.

(b). Compare your answer to the corresponding one and explain the reason for the difference, if any.

11.92 Delayed Perinatal Stroke. In the article "Prothrombotic Factors in Children With Stroke or Porencephaly" (Pediatrics Journal, Vol. 116, Issue 2, pp. 447-453), J. Lynch et al. compared differences and similarities in children with arterial ischemic stroke and porencephaly. Three classification categories were used: perinatal stroke, delayed perinatal stroke, and childhood stroke. Of 59children, 25were diagnosed with delayed perinatal stroke. At the 5%significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that delayed perinatal stroke does not comprise one-third of the cases among the three categories?

Refer to the study on ordering vegetarian considered in Examples 11.8-11.10.

a. Without making a guess for the observed values of the sample proportions, find the common sample size that will ensure a margin of error of at most 0.01for a 90%confidence interval. Hint: Use Exercise 11.133.

b. Find a90%confidence interval for p1-p2if, for samples of the size determined in part (a), 38.3%of the men and 43.7%of the women sometimes order veg.

c. Determine the margin of error for the estimate in part (b), and compare it to the required margin of error specified in part (a).
