Question

Assume you have a population of 26000 people where 3% of the population has some particular disease. 

 


  1. a) If you take a sample of size 34, can we say that the sampling distribution of ˆpp^is approximately normal? Why or why not? 

      Check conditions: 

    np =                  which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤                 , 

        2. n(1 - p) =           which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤                , 

        3. and N =             which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤                 ,

        Can we say that the sampling distribution of ˆp is approximately normal in this case?

    (If the answer is no, state the first conditions in the list above that failed) 

    Select an answer 

 

Yes, since all 3 conditions check out 

No, since the first condition did not check out 

No, since the second condition did not check out 

No, because the third condition did not check out  

 

  1. b) Redo part a assuming phas increased to 86%.
      Check conditions: 

    np =                 which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤              , 

        2. n(1 - p) =          which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤             , 

        3. and N =             which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤             ,

        Can we say that the sampling distribution of ˆpp^ is approximately normal in this case?

    (If the answer is no, state the first conditions in the list above that failed) 

    Select an answer 

 

Yes, since all 3 conditions check out 

No, since the first condition did not check out 

No, since the second condition did not check out 

No, because the third condition did not check out  

c) If you take a sample of size 579 from the original population where p is 3%, can we say that the sampling distribution of ˆp is approximately normal?

    Why or why not? 

    Check conditions: 

    1. np =                    which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤             , 

    2. n(1 - p) =             which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤            , 

    3. and N =                which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤            ,  
 
    Can we say that the sampling distribution of ˆp is approximately normal in this case?

    (If the answer is no, state the first conditions in the list above that failed) 

    Select an answer 

 

Yes, since all 3 conditions check out 

No, since the first condition did not check out

 No, since the second condition did not check out 

No, because the third condition did not check out  

d) Redo part c assuming the population only has 8685 people in it. 

    Check conditions: 

    1. np =                       which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤               , 

    2. n(1 - p) =                which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤              , 

    3. and N =                   which ? ≥ < = ≠ > ≤              ,

    Can we say that the sampling distribution of ˆpp^ is approximately normal in this case?

    (If the answer is no, state the first conditions in the list above that failed) 

    Select an answer 

 

Yes, since all 3 conditions check out

 No, since the first condition did not check out

 No, since the second condition did not check out 

No, because the third condition did not check out
