Question

In a al) Among the 503 human resource professionals who were surveyed, how many of them said that body plercings and tatoos were big grooming red tags? 207 (Round to the nearest integer as needed ) b Co struct a 99% con ence interval estimate of the proportion of all human resource professionals bei evng that bod piercings and t noos are b g o ng red nags 0.355, p 0.468, Round to three decimal places as needed) c) Repeat part (b) using a confidence level of 80% Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

a)

503 *(41.2/100)

=207.236

=207

b)

Margion of error = 2.576 *sqrt(0.412*(1-0.412)/503) =0.057

Hence 99% CI is

(0.412 -0.057, 0.412+0.057)=(0.355, 0.469)

c)

Standard error of the mean = SEM = x(N-x)/N3 = 0.022

= (1-CL)/2 = 0.100

Standard normal deviate for = Z = 1.282

Proportion of positive results = P = x/N = 0.412

Lower bound = P - (Z*SEM) = 0.383

Upper bound = P + (Z*SEM) = 0.440

hence, interval is (0.383, 0.440)

0.383 <p<0.440
