groups’ population sizes. After two weeks of sampling and counting the population of mealworms‚ a population of 506 mealworms was calculated. A very broad confidence interval was also calculated‚ ranging from 143.58 to 868.42 (Table 1). Although other groups seem to have large confidence intervals‚ they are within a 200-300 limit. The confidence interval calculated for Group RG/CL has about a 700 difference. Thus‚ their values obtained certainly reveal that experimental errors are involved. However

for determining the sample size. SAMPLE SIZE CRITERIA In addition to the purpose of the study and population size‚ three criteria usually will need to be specified to determine the appropriate sample size: the level of precision‚ the level of confidence or risk‚ and the degree of variability in the attributes being measured (Miaoulis and Michener‚ 1976). Each of these is reviewed below. The Level Of Precision The level of precision‚ sometimes called sampling error‚ is the range in which the

the logic that allows you to be 95% confident that the confidence interval contains the population parameter? We know from the CLT that sample means are normally distributed around the real population mean (). Any time you have a sample mean within E (margin of error) of then the confidence interval will contain . Since 95% of the sample means are within E of then 95% of the confidence interval constructed in this way will contain. • Why do we use confidence intervals verses point estimates

Chapter 2. Instead of estimating the two forms of average values in the population‚ they would be measuring directly. Of course‚ when measuring everyone in a population‚ the true value is known; thus there is no need for confidence intervals. After all the purpose of the confidence interval is to tell how certain the author is that a presented interval brackets the true value in the population. With everyone measured‚ the true value would be known‚ unless of course there were measurement or calculation

the airline has to be profitable and efficient at the same time. The airline can chose to satisfy 95% of the people. The company will still be able to satisfy a large portion of the population and can be profitable. We find the minimum/ maximum sitting distance for men/ women that will satisfy 95% of the people: Because of the normal distribution the mean= 0‚ standard deviation=1. 95 percent means z= +/- 1.96 Max sitting distance for men = 23.5 +(1.96*1.1)= 25.656 inches Min sitting
