After calculating the sample size needed to estimate a population proportion to within 0.05, you have been told that the maximum allowable error (B) must be reduced to just 0.025. If the original calculation led to a sample size of 1000, the sample size will now have to be: Multiple choice 2000 8000 4000 1000 Show all work. Do not use Excel use Z or T table where applicable.

In a recent year, the Better Business Bureau settled 73% of complaints they received. You have been hired by the Bureau to investigate complaints this year involving computer stores. You plan to select a random sample of complaints to estimate the proportion of complaints the Bureau is able to settle. Assume the population proportion of complaints settled for the computer stores is 0.73, as mentioned above. Suppose your sample size is 113. DO NOT USE THE EXCEL FORMULA. CALCULATE BY HAND OR WITH A CALCULATOR. 1. What is the probability that the sample proportion will be within 4 percent of the population proportion?
You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population proportion. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population proportion is approximately 12%. You would like to be 90% confident that your estimate is within 4.5% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?
You want to obtain a sample to estimate the proportion of a population that possess a particular genetic marker. Based on previous evidence, you believe approximately 69% of the population have the genetic marker. You would like to be 95% confident that your estimate is within 5% of the true population proportion. Do not round mid-calculation and be careful when you round your answer.

A political newspaper, Politically Sound, is interested in the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. Politically Sound has hired you to estimate the population mean of all such distances for voters in this county. To estimate this population mean, you select a random sample of 17 Rising Falls County voters and record the distance (in km) each voter lives from their nearest polling station. Assume the population is approximately normally distributed. Based on your sample, follow the steps below to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean of all the distances voters in Rising Falls County live from their nearest polling station. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Click on "Take Sample" to see the results for your random sample. Take Sample Number of voters 17 Sample mean 4.757 Sample standard deviation 2.363 Enter the values of the sample size, the point estimate of the mean, the sample standard deviation, and the…
