EIE2001 Sampling II

1. Use the data in Tutorial Sampling I, Question 1 to determine the sample size required to
estimate p with a bound on the error of estimation of magnitude B = 0.05.

2. Use the data in Tutorial Sampling I, Question 2 to determine the sample size required to
estimate µ with a bound on the error of estimation of magnitude B = 0.10.

3. What sample size is needed to estimate τ in Tutorial Sampling I, Question 3 with a bound on
the error of estimation approximately equal to $10000?

4. A college is concerned about improving its relations with a neighboring community. A 1-in-
500 systematic sample of the N = 4,500 students listed in the directory is taken to estimate
the money spent on clothing during one quarter of the school year. The results of the sample
are listed in table below.
Student Amount spent ($)
1 30
2 22
3 10
4 62
5 28
6 31
7 40
8 29
9 17

(a) Estimate the mean amount of money spent on clothing during one quarter of the school year.
Place a bound on the error of estimation. Determine the sample size required with B = 5.
(b) Estimate the total amount of money spent on clothing during one quarter of the school year.
Place a bound on the error of estimation. If this margin of error is reduced by half, what is the
required sample size?
(c) Estimate the proportion of students with spending <$30. Place a bound on the error of
estimation. Determine the sample size required with B = 0.1.

5. Select 4% of the respondents randomly from “Employee Satisfaction Survey” data.


Calculate:
(a) Mean hours of work per week and 95% confidence interval.
(b) Total hours of work per week of all employees and 95% confidence interval.
(c) Proportion of employees who joined the union membership and 95% confidence interval.

6. Select 4% of the respondents systematically from “Employee Satisfaction Survey” data. Let
12 be the random start. Calculate:
(a) Mean hours of work per week and 95% confidence interval.
(b) Total hours of work per week of all employees and 95% confidence interval.
(c) Percent of employees who joined the union membership and 95% confidence interval.
