Textbook Question
Chapter 12.1, Problem 38E
In Exercises 12.37–12.42, we have specified the margin of errors and confidence levels from Exercises 12.31–12.36, respectively. Additionally, we have, in each case, provided an educated guess for the observed value of the sample proportion. For each exercise,
- a. obtain a
sample size that will ensure a margin of error of at most the one specified (provided of course that the observed value of the sample proportion is further from 0.5 than the educated guess). - b. compare your answer to the corresponding one from Exercises 12.31–12.36 and explain the reason for the difference, if any.
12.38 margin of error = 0.02; confidence level = 95%; educated guess = 0.6
