Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 19E
Graduation It’s believed that as many as 25% of adults over 50 never graduated from high school. We wish to see if this percentage is the same among the 25 to 30 age group.
- a) How many of this younger age group must we survey in order to estimate the proportion of non-grads to within 6% with 90% confidence?
- b) Suppose we want to cut the margin of error to 4%. What’s the necessary
sample size ? - c) What sample size would produce a margin of error of 3%?
