Determining the Sample Size Necessary for a Desired Margin of Error
... don’t and furthermore we don’t even know p̂ , the sample proportion, until we have our data in hand. In order to use this result we need to plug in a “best guess” for p. This guess might come from: Pilot study where p̂ = sample proportion is calculated Prior studies Use the worst case scenario ...

... All hypothesis testing is done under the assumption that the null hypothesis is true. If the results we get are too unusual to happen by chance alone, then we reject our assumption that the null hypothesis is true. The null hypothesis, H0, is a statement of no change from the normal or assumed condi ...

The union decides to sample 402 of its members at random and monitor the working time of each of them for 1 month. At the end of the month, the total number of hours absent from w ...
