About 90% of young adult Internet users (ages 18 to 29) use social-networking sites. (a) Suppose a sample survey contacts an SRS of 1600 young adult Internet users and calculates the proportion pˆp^ in this sample who use social-networking sites. What is the approximate distribution of pˆp^? μpˆμp^ (±±0.00001) = , σpˆσp^ (±±0.00001) = What is the probability that pˆp^ is between 87% and 93%? This is the probability that pˆp^ estimates pp within 3%. (Use software.) P(0.87<pˆ<0.93)P(0.87<p^<0.93) (±±0.0001) = (b) If the sample size were 6400 rather than 1600, what would be the approximate distribution of pˆp^? μpˆμp^ (±±0.00001) = , σpˆσp^ (±±0.00001) = What is the probability that pˆp^ is between 87% and 93%? This is the probability that pˆp^ estimates pp within 3%. (Use software.) P(0.87<pˆ<0.93)P(0.87<p^<0.93) (±±0.0001) = |
