Find the size of each of two samples (assume that they are of equal size) needed to estimate the difference between the proportions of boys and girls under 10 years old who are afraid of spiders. Assume the "worst case" scenario for the value of both sample proportions. We want a 98% confidence level and for the error to be smaller than 0.04.

a) the sample size (n) = 156.25≅ 156

Step-by-step explanation:

Step1 :-

Given the two sample sizes are equal so

Given the standard error (S.E) = 0.04

The standard error of the proportion of the given  sample size

Step 2:-

here we assume that the proportion of boys and girls are equally likely

p= 1/2 and q= 1/2

squaring on both sides, we get

on simplification, we get

n= 156.25 ≅ 156

sample size (n) = 156

verification:-

Standard error = 0.04

step-by-step explanation:

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
