If it were later determined that it was important to be more than confident and a new survey was commissioned, how would it affect the minimum number you need to survey? Why?
Using the same , , and level of confidence, suppose that were instead of . Would the error bound become larger or smaller? How do you know?
Using the same p′ and n = 80, how would the error bound change if the confidence level were increased to 98%? Why?
The data in the Table are the result of a random survey of national flags (with replacement between picks) from various countries. We are interested in finding a confidence interval for the true mean number of colors on a national flag. Let the number of colors on a national flag.
Calculate the following:
