Chapter 8: Q 24. (page 509)

After deciding on a 95% confidence level, the researcher is deciding between a sample of size n=500 and a sample of size n=1000. Compared with using a sample size of n=500, a confidence interval based on a sample size of n=1000 will be

a. narrower and would involve a larger risk of being incorrect.

b. wider and would involve a smaller risk of being incorrect.

c. narrower and would involve a smaller risk of being incorrect.

d. wider and would involve a larger risk of being incorrect.

e. narrower and would have the same risk of being incorrect.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Option (e) is correct.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Two sample sizes are givenn=500,n=1000

02

Explanation

The confidence interval is related to sample size negatively. If sample size increases, precision of confidence interval lowers risk of being correct.

If sample size 1000is used at same 95%confidence interval, confidence interval is less and there is same risk for being incorrect.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Shoes The AP Statistics class in Exercise 1 also asked an SRS of 20boys at their school how many pairs of shoes they have. A 95%confidence interval for 渭G-渭B=the true difference in the mean number of pairs of shoes for girls and

boys is 10.9to26.5.

a. Interpret the confidence interval.

b. Does the confidence interval give convincing evidence of a difference in the true mean number of pairs of shoes for boys and girls at the school? Explain your answer.

Got shoes? The class in Exercise 1 wants to estimate the variability in the number of pairs

of shoes that female students have by estimating the population standard deviation 蟽.

The 10%condition When constructing a confidence interval for a population proportion, we check that the sample size is less than 10%of the population size.

a. Why is it necessary to check this condition?

b. What happens to the capture rate if this condition is violated?

Household income The 2015American Community Survey estimated the median

household income for each state. According to ACS, the 90%confidence interval for the 2015median household income in Arizona is \(51,492卤\)431.

a. Interpret the confidence interval.

b. Interpret the confidence level.

School vouchers A small pilot study estimated that 44%of all American

adults agree that parents should be given vouchers that are good for education at any public or private school of their choice.

a. How large a random sample is required to obtain a margin of error of at most 0.03with 99%confidence? Answer this question using the pilot study鈥檚 result as the guessed value for p^

b. Answer the question in part (a) again, but this time use the conservative guessp^=0.5. By how much do the two sample sizes differ?
