Past surveys reveal the 30% of tourists going to Las Vegas to gamble spend more than $1,000. The Visitor's Bureau of Las Vegas wants to update this percentage. The new study is to use the 90% confidence level. The estimate is to be within 1% of the population proportion. What is the necessary sample size?

Answer:

The necessary sample size is of 5683.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

90% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.1[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.645[/tex].

Past surveys reveal the 30% of tourists going to Las Vegas to gamble spend more than $1,000.

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.3[/tex]

The estimate is to be within 1% of the population proportion. What is the necessary sample size?

A sample size of n is necessary. n is found when [tex]M = 0.01[/tex]. So

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.01 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.3*0.7}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.01\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.3*0.7}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.3*0.7}}{0.01}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.3*0.7}}{0.01})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 5682.6[/tex]

Rounding up:

The necessary sample size is of 5683.

The FBI wants to determine the effectiveness of their 10 Most Wanted list. To do so, they need to find out the fraction of people who appear on the list that are actually caught. Step 1 of 2: Suppose a sample of 1453 suspected criminals is drawn. Of these people, 377 were captured. Using the data, estimate the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 10 Most Wanted list. Enter your answer as a fraction or a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.

It is believed that GPA (grade point average, based on a four point scale) should have a positive linear relationship with ACT scores. The Excel output from regressing GPA on ACT scores using a data set of 8 randomly chosen students from a Big Ten university gives R Square = 0.5774 The interpretation of the coefficient of determination in this regression is that

The overall distance traveled by a golf ball is tested by hitting the ball with Iron Byron, a mechanical golfer with a swing that is said to emulate the legendary champion, Byron Nelson. Ten randomly selected balls of two brands are tested and the overall distance measured. Assume the data are normally distributed. The data follow:
Brand 1 257 276 260 262 287 271 260 265 283 271
Brand 2 273 281 279 275 271 270 263 267 263 268
1) Is there evidence to show that there is a difference in the mean overall distance of brands? Use alpha = 0.05.
2) Calculate a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the difference in mean overall distance.
