Question

The Daily Universe wanted to know the percentage of BYU returned missionaries who married within a year of returning from his/her mission. 10 students were randomly surveyed and their responses were recorded. They report their 98% confidence interval to be (0.55, 0.75).

 

a)Is this a valid confidence interval?

No, because the sample size was too small
No, because it was a survey
Yes, because the sample was random
Yes, because there was a big enough sample size
 
b)Suppose The Daily Universe wanted to calculate a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 0.03. How many BYU returned missionaries need to be randomly sampled?

33
251
34
1068
 
 
 

c)The researchers decided that it was too expensive to sample as many as was required for their calculations. To decrease the required sample size and therefore the cost, they could increase their confidence level and decrease the desired margin of error.
