Brief Case
Has Gold Lost its Luster?
In 2011, when the Gallup organization polled investors, 34% rated gold the best long-term investment.
However, in April of 2013 Gallup surveyed a random sample of U.S. adults. Respondents were asked to
select the best long-term investment from a list of possibilities. Only 241 of the 1005 respondents chose
gold as the best long-term investment.
With 95% confidence, compute the margin of error of the sample proportion.
Compute and describe a 95% confidence interval in the context of the case.
Do you think opinions about the value of gold as a long-term investment have really changed
from the old 34% favorable rate, or do you think this is a sample variability? Explain your answer
using the calculated statistics.
Suppose the Gallup organization wants to offer a new investment option and wants to estimate,
to within 5%, the proportion of customers who are likely to make this new investment with 95%
confidence. How large a sample do they need?
