Chapter 8.3, Problem 26P
Small Business: Bankruptcy The National Council of Small Businesses is interested in the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. Since there are so many small businesses, the National Council intends to estimate the proportion from a random sample. Let p be the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year.
(a) If no preliminary sample is taken to estimate p. how large a sample is necessary to be
(b) In a preliminary random sample of 38 small businesses, it was found that six had declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. How many more small businesses should be included in the sample to be

Employer-based health insuranceA report from a Gallup poll1 in 2011 started by saying, "Forty-five percent of American adults reported getting their health insurance from an employer..." Later in the article we find information on the sampling method, "a random sample of 147,291 adults, aged 18 and over, living in the US," and a sentence about the accuracy of the results, "the maximum margin of sampling error is ±1 percentage point."Use the margin of error2 to give an interval estimate for the parameter of interest.Enter the exact answers.The interval is
A large number of insurance records are to be examined to develop a model for predicting fraudulent claims. Of the claims in the historical database, 1% were judged to be fraudulent.
A sample database is taken to develop a model, and oversampling is used to provide a balanced sample in light of the very low response rate. When applied to this sample database (total number of records, N =800), the model ends up correctly classifying 310 frauds, and 270 non-frauds. It misses 90 frauds, and classified 130 records incorrectly as frauds when they were not.
a. Produce the classification matrix for the sample as it stands.
b. Find the adjusted misclassification rate (adjusting for the oversampling).
c. What percentage of new records would you expected to be classified as fraudulent?
True or false: The point estimate for the population mean of an xdistribution is computed from a random sample of the xdistribution.

- Color blindness, or dyschromatopsia, is a form of genetic deficiency in color perception. The condition is much more prevalent among males than females, pointing to a genetic connection with the X chromosome. The frequency of dyschromatopsia in the Caucasian American male population is about 7%. However, it is thought that this proportion might be smaller among males of other ethnicities. We want to estimate the proportion of Asian American males who are color-blind.

However, in 2011 the recovery was slow and it was uncertain as to how much had reallychanged on the national level. To estimate the national average of the percent of low-income workingfamilies, a representative simple random sample of the percent of low-income working families from eachof the country’s reporting jurisdictions could be used to calculate a point estimate and create a relatedconfidence interval. With this confidence interval a better picture of the nation’s recovery can be had andlegislative decisions can be made.6. Describe in two or three sentences how a simple random sample of size n=20 could be obtainedfrom the full list of jurisdictions provided for use with this assignment.7.
