(a) Public health authorities want to estimate the
proportion of Australians aged 18-65 who
caught the flu during winter 2018. If the true proportion is
thought to be about 24%, how
large a sample will be needed if we want to be 95% sure that our
estimate will be within
0.02 of the true value?
(b) Due to a change in the available funding, the sample
actually used for estimating the
prevalence of flu included 1,712 randomly-selected Australians aged
18-65. Of these, 367
reported having a “flu-like illness” during winter 2018. Use these
data to calculate a 90%
confidence interval for the proportion of Australians aged 18-65
who had a flu-like illness
during winter 2018.
