Textbook Question

In Exercises 7 and 8, find the margin of error for the values of c, s, and n.
c = 0.99, s = 3, n = 6

Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the formula for the margin of error (E). The margin of error is calculated using the formula:

E = z \(\cdot\) \(\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}\)}

, where z is the critical value corresponding to the confidence level (c), s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the sample size.

Step 2: Determine the critical value (z) for the given confidence level (c = 0.99). Use a z-table or statistical software to find the z-value that corresponds to a 99% confidence level. For a two-tailed test, this is the z-value where the area in the tails is 0.01 (0.005 in each tail).

Step 3: Plug in the given values for s and n into the formula. Here, s = 3 and n = 6. Substitute these values into the formula:

E = z \(\cdot\) \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{6}\)}

Step 4: Simplify the denominator by calculating the square root of the sample size (n). Compute

\(\sqrt{6}\)

and substitute it into the formula.

Step 5: Multiply the critical value (z) by the fraction

\(\frac{3}{\sqrt{6}\)}

to calculate the margin of error (E). This will give you the final result.

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Margin of Error

The margin of error quantifies the uncertainty in a statistical estimate. It indicates the range within which the true population parameter is expected to lie, given a certain confidence level. A higher margin of error suggests less precision in the estimate, while a lower margin indicates greater confidence in the results.

Confidence Level

The confidence level represents the probability that the margin of error will capture the true population parameter. Common confidence levels include 90%, 95%, and 99%. In this case, a confidence level of 0.99 means that if the same sampling method were repeated multiple times, 99% of the calculated intervals would contain the true parameter.

Sample Size (n)

Sample size refers to the number of observations or data points collected in a study. A larger sample size generally leads to a smaller margin of error, enhancing the reliability of the estimate. In this context, with n = 6, the sample size is relatively small, which may result in a larger margin of error compared to larger samples.

Textbook Question

Finite Population Correction Factor In Exercises 57 and 58, use the information below.

In this section, you studied the construction of a confidence interval to estimate a population mean. In each case, the underlying assumption was that the sample size n was small in comparison to the population size N. When n ≥ 0.05N however, the formula that determines the standard error of the mean needs to be adjusted, as shown below.

Recall from the Section 5.4 exercises that the expression sqrt[(N-n)/(n-1)] is called a finite population correction factor. The margin of error is
