Statistics Problems E36D94
1. Problem: Find the sample size for 275 BAM students with a margin of error of 1%.
2. Formula: Sample size $n = N \times E^2 / ((N-1) \times E^2 + Z^2)$ where $N$ is population size, $E$ is margin of error, and $Z$ is z-score for confidence level (assume 95% confidence, $Z=1.96$).
3. Calculation:
- $N=275$
- $E=0.01$
- $Z=1.96$
$$n = \frac{275 \times (1.96)^2}{(275-1) \times (0.01)^2 + (1.96)^2} = \frac{275 \times 3.8416}{274 \times 0.0001 + 3.8416} = \frac{1056.44}{0.0274 + 3.8416} = \frac{1056.44}{3.869} \approx 273$$
4. Interpretation: The sample size needed is approximately 273 students.
1. Problem: Use stratified random sampling to select 1000 residents from 5 barangays with given populations.
2. Formula: Sample from each stratum $n_i = (N_i / N) \times n$ where $N_i$ is population of stratum, $N$ total population, $n$ total sample size.
3. Calculation:
- Total population $N = 2000 + 1000 + 1500 + 2500 + 1500 = 8500$
- Sample size $n=1000$
Calculate each:
- Mayapa: $n_1 = (2000/8500) \times 1000 \approx 235$
- Maganda: $n_2 = (1000/8500) \times 1000 \approx 118$
- Makisig: $n_3 = (1500/8500) \times 1000 \approx 176$
- Malinis: $n_4 = (2500/8500) \times 1000 \approx 294$
- Mahangin: $n_5 = (1500/8500) \times 1000 \approx 176$
4. Interpretation: Sample sizes per barangay are approximately 235, 118, 176, 294, and 176 respectively.
1. Problem: Prepare frequency distribution with 7 classes starting at 34 for exam scores.
2. Data range: Min=34, Max=95
3. Class width: $\text{width} = \frac{95 - 34}{7} = 8.14 \approx 9$
4. Classes:
- 34-42
- 43-51
- 52-60
- 61-69
- 70-78
- 79-87
- 88-96
5. Frequency count per class (count scores in each range):
- 34-42: 4
- 43-51: 6
- 52-60: 10
- 61-69: 11
- 70-78: 13
- 79-87: 6
- 88-96: 4
6. Calculate % relative frequency: $\frac{f}{50} \times 100$ (total 50 scores)
7. Calculate less than cumulative frequency (sum frequencies up to class)
8. Calculate greater than cumulative frequency (sum frequencies from class to end)
1. Problem: Find requested values:
- Class interval = class width = 9
- Lower class boundary of highest frequency class (70-78): lower limit 70, boundary = 69.5
- Number of students with score < 60.5: sum frequencies of classes below 60.5 (34-42, 43-51, 52-60) = 4+6+10=20
- Number of students with score > 80: sum frequencies of classes above 80 (79-87 and 88-96) = 6+4=10
- Lowest upper class limit: 42 (from first class 34-42)
Final answers:
1. Sample size for BAM students: 273
2. Stratified sample sizes: Mayapa 235, Maganda 118, Makisig 176, Malinis 294, Mahangin 176
3. Frequency distribution with 7 classes starting at 34 as above
4. Requested values as above
