With a confidence level of .95 and a confident interval of 5 and a
population of 20,000 what is the sample size?
With a confidence level of .99 and a confident interval of 5 and a
population of 20,000 what is the sample size?
Finally, using the sample size for question 1 and 2 and a response
distribution of 50% (i.e., percentage box) what is the confidence
interval for questions 1 and 2.
If you had the time to explain how you figured those out, that would help me tremendously :~)
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide
Sincerely,
Grateful

Didn't we do this one already?
You should have a formula, something like this:
n = z s/d
n is the sample size
z is the z-score associated with your confidence level
s is your variance, calculated, estimated or assumed. It is accepted practice to use a nice upper bound, failign other information.
d is the maximum acceptable deviation.
I'm not sure your questions have sufficietn information, but give it some thought. |
