Question
Find the sample size required for a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points, and then find one for a margin of error of 1.7 percentage points; for both, use 95% confidence. Find the ratio of the larger sample size to the smaller sample size. To reduce the error by half, what do you need to multiply the sample size by?
1
where n represents the population size and m represents the margin of error in decimal form, to find the necessary sample size required for a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points.
Use the shortcut formula n=
m2
(Round up to the nearest integer.)
n=
Find the necessary sample size required for a margin of error of 1.7 percentage points.
n =
(Round up to the nearest integer.)
Use the populations obtained above to find the ratio of the larger sample size to the smaller sample size.
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
To reduce the error by half, what do you need to multiply the sample size by?
(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
