The National Council of Small Businesses is interested in the proportion of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. Since intends to estimate the proportion from a random sample. Let p be the proportion of small businesses t of small businesses that declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year. Since there are so many small businesses, the National Couna hat declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year 95% sure that a point estimate p will be within a distance of 0.12 from p? (Round your answer up to taken to estimate P. how large a sample is necessary to be (a) if no preliminary sample the nearest whole number.) 67 sinall businesses (b) In a preliminary random sample of 30 small businesses, t was 95% sure that a point estimate P will be within a distance 95 random sample of 30 small businesses, i was found that seven had declared Chepter 11 bankruptcy. How many more small businesses should be included in the sample to be estimate p will be within a distance of 0.120 from p? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) more small businesses X

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Problem1).

b. for sample p=0.2333, estimated sample size=

Sample size = (z2*p*(1-p))/d2

= (1.962*0.2333*0.7667)/0.1202

=47.7

The sample size required= 48

Answer: 18 more small businesses
