gallo is willing to live with 2% error and wish to be no less than 94% confident of the result. how many surveys should they collect for their sample?



Answer :

The sample size collected for the survey using a given margin of error and confidence interval equal to 1890.

As given in the question,

Margin of error ' MOE' = 2%

                                     = 0.02

Sample proportion 'p'= 69%

                                   = 0.69

1 - p = 1 - 0.69

      = 0.31

Confidence interval = 94%

Confidence level 'α'= (100-94)%

                                 = 6%

                                 = 0.06

Critical value is [tex]z_{\alpha /2}[/tex] = [tex]z_{0.03}[/tex]

                                 = 1.88

Sample size 'n' = p( 1 - p ) ( [tex]z_{\alpha /2}[/tex] / MOE)²

                         = 0.69 (0.31) (1.88/ 0.02)²

                         = 1890.0204

                         ≈ 1890  

Therefore, for the given margin of error and confidence interval the sample size collected for the survey is equal to 1890.

The above question is incomplete , the complete question is :

In a poll, 69% of the people polled answered yes to the question "Are you in favor of the death penalty for a person convicted of

murder?" Gallo is willing the margin of error in the poll was 2%, and wish to be no less than 94% confident of the result. how many surveys should they collect for their sample?
