Suppose that we wanted to estimate the true average number of eggs a queen bee lays with 99% confidence. The margin of error we are willing to accept is 0.9. Suppose we also know that the standard deviation is about 5. What sample size should we use?

Suppose that we wanted to estimate the true average number of eggs a queen bee lays with 95% confidence. The margin of error we are willing to accept is 0.5. Suppose we also know that s is about 10. What sample size should we use?

Suppose that we wanted to estimate the true average number of eggs a queen bee lays with 95% confidence. The margin of error we are willing to accept is 0.5. Suppose we also know that s is about 10. What sample size should we use? A confidence interval was used to estimate the proportion of statistics students that are female. A random sample of 72 statistics students generated the following 90% confidence interval: (0.438, 0.642). Using the information above, what size sample would be necessary if we wanted to estimate the true proportion to within ±0.08 using 95% confidence? The test statistic for a two-sided significance test for a population mean is z = -2.12. What is the corresponding P-value?
