Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. We have calculated a 95% confidence interval and would prefer to have a smaller margin of error without losing any confidence. In order to do this, we can I. change the z∗ value to a smaller number. II. take a larger sample. III. take a smaller sample.

We are 98% confident that the sample proportion is in our interval. II. The interval is narrower than a 95% confidence interval. III. The interval is wider than a 95% confidence interval.

Now we want to get a better estimate with a margin of error that is only one-fourth as large. How large does our new sample need to be?

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. A news poll which estimated that 82% of all voters believe global warming exists had a margin of error of +/- 3%. Suppose an environmental group planning a follow-up survey on this issue wants to determine a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of no more than 2%. How large a sample do they need? 32 1418 999 38 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. A large multinational corporation recently implemented an ERP system. A survey was done to determine the level of satisfaction with the new system. Out of 350 managers surveyed, 280 indicated that they were satisfied. What is the standard error for the proportion of satisfied managers? 0.20 0.80 0.16 0.02 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
