Question

University survey of its undergraduate students reported that 62​% of its students prefer coffee to tea. Suppose that you select a sample of 100 students.

 

a. What is the probability that the sample percentage that perfer coffee will be between 57​% and 70​%?

 
 
b.Calculate the​ range, centred on the population​ percentage, in which there is a 80​% probability that the sample percentage will be in that range.
There is a 80​% probability that the sample percentage will be contained above ( )% and below ( )%
 
 
 
 
c. Calculate the​ range, centred on the population​ percentage, in which there is a 97​% probability that the sample percentage will be in that range.
 
There is a 97​% probability that the sample percentage will be contained above ( )% and below ( )%
 
 
 
 
 
d. Suppose you selected a sample of 400 students. How would this this change your answers in ​(a) through
​(c)​?
 
 
A.
Increasing the sample size decreases the standard​ error, causing the value of the answer to ​(a) to increase and the ranges in ​(b) and ​(c) to narrow.
 
B.
Increasing the sample size increases the standard​ error, causing the value of the answer to  ​(a) to decrease and the ranges in ​(b) and ​(c) to widen.
 
C.
Increasing the sample size decreases the standard​ error, causing the value of the answer to ​(a) to decrease and the ranges in ​(b) and ​(c) to narrow.
 
D.
Increasing the sample size increases the standard​ error, causing the value of the answer to ​(a) to increase and the ranges in ​(b) and ​(c) to widen.
