For each of the following sample proportions and sample sizes, compute a 99% confidence interval for the population proportion using both the standard large-sample procedure and the WAC adjusted procedure. Comment in each case on whether or not the WAC adjustment was necessary. (a) n = 25; sample proportion = 0.40. (b) n = 50; sample proportion = 0.20.

An epidemiologist is worried about the prevalence of the flu in East Vancouver and the potential shortage of vaccines for the area. She will need to provide a recommendation for how to allocate the vaccines appropriately across the city. She takes a simple random sample of 339 people living in East Vancouver and finds that 40 have recently had the flu. For each of the following statements, specify whether the statement is a correct interpretation of the 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu. A. 11.80% (40/339) of East Vancouver residents have recently had the flu. ? true false B. There is a 95% probability that the true proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu equals 40/339. ? true false C. If another random sample of 339 East Vancouver residents is drawn, there is a 95% probability that the sample proportion of East Vancouver residents who have recently had the flu equals 40/339. ?…

If you needed to obtain only a 95 percent confidence interval with a margin of error no larger than 1 mg, how large a sample of aspirin tablets from the daily production would you need instead? n=
In exploring possible sites for a convenience store in a large neighbourhood, the retail chain wants to know the proportion of ratepayers in favour of the proposal. If the estimate is required to be within 0.1 of the true proportion, would a random sample of size n = 100 from the council records be sufficient for a 95% confidence interval of this precision?
Which of the following sample sizes, all other things being equal, will produce the most precise (narrowest) confidence interval? 900 1200 25 100 all will produce the same interval because the calculation depends only on the mean and the standard deviation
Determine the point estimate of the population proportion, the margin of error for the following confidence interval, and the number of individuals in the sample with the specified characteristic, x, for the sample size provided.
In a situation where the sample size was decreased from 39 to 29 in a normally distributed data set, what would be the impact on the confidence interval?
