A student wants to survey the sophomore class of 200 students about whether the school should require uniforms. A random sample of 18 sophomores is surveyed and asked whether they support the school adopting uniforms, and three students said yes. The student wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of sophomores who favored the adoption of uniforms. Are the conditions for inference met

Complete question

A student wants to survey the sophomore class of 200 students about whether the school should require uniforms. A random sample of 18 sophomores is surveyed and asked whether they support the school adopting uniforms, and three students said yes. The student wants to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of sophomores who favor the adoption of uniforms. Are the conditions for inference met?

Solution

10 % of population size of 200 is 20. The sample of 18 is smaller than the 10 % of sample size of 200. As per the 10% rule, the size of sample must be less than 10% of the total size of population. This indicate that the sample is random but its size is less that 30. However, it should be greater that 30. Hence, the large count condition is not met.

Hence, option D is the correct choice of answer

fist on the left goes with the third on the right. second on the left goes with the fourth on the right. third on the left goes with the second on the right. the fourth on the left goes with first on the right
