What is the new confidence interval


Discuss the following:

Q1 In the business research scenario, the population is identified as 150 employees. How many employees would need to respond to the survey to achieve a confidence interval of ±5 at the 95% level of confidence? Note for #1: The formula you need to do this problem is not introduced in attached text.

Q2 Only 50% (75 of 150) of those invited agreed to participate. What is the new confidence interval? Is this good enough? Why or why not?

Q3 As a condition of employment, military applicants must pass a drug test. Last month, of the 440 applicants tested 28 failed. Develop a 99 percent confidence interval for the proportion of applicants that fail the test. Would it be reasonable to conclude that more than 10 percent of the applicants are now failing the test each month?

Q4 In addition to the testing of applicants, Kadena randomly tests members throughout the year. Last year in the 800 random tests conducted, 11 employees failed the test. Would it be reasonable to conclude that the incidence of drug abuse is less than 2 percent for the total population?
