Two sisters, sister A and sister B, play SCRABBLE with each other every evening. Sister A is a statistician, and she draws a random sample of 30 results from the 1,420 total games that have been played to construct a confidence interval estimate of p, the proportion of SCRABBLE games between her and her sister that she has won. Her 95% confidence interval estimate of p is LCL = 0.36, UCL = 0.69. A 95% confidence interval estimate of the total number of games sister A has won out of the 1,450 games that have been played is LCL = and UCL =

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority is conducting a study to estimate the proportion of low-income commuters who drive to work on a toll road. The project manager wants to estimate the proportion to within 0.03 with 95% confidence, and the project manager believes that p will turn out to be approximately 0.11.

A sample size no smaller than is needed.

First question: LCL = 522, UCL = 1000.5

Second question: A sample size no smaller than 418 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

First question:

Lower bound:

0.36 of 1450. So

0.36*1450 = 522

Upper bound:

0.69 of 1450. So

0.69*1450 = 1000.5

LCL = 522, UCL = 1000.5

Second question:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .

The margin of error is:

The project manager believes that p will turn out to be approximately 0.11.

This means that

95% confidence level

So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of , so .

The project manager wants to estimate the proportion to within 0.03

This means that the sample size needed is given by n, and n is found when M = 0.03. So

Rounding up

A sample size no smaller than 418 is needed.

both equations and proportions are better.
