What are the two most important considerations in determining an appropriate sample size Quizlet

15. If we were to graph the relationship of sample size (x axis) to sample accuracy (y axis), we would notice that:

a. There is a linear relationship between size and accuracy.
b. Accuracy increases quickly, up to about sample size 500, and then accuracy levels off with relatively small gains made even when sample size is increased to as much as 2,000.
c. Accuracy increases quickly, up to about sample size 5,000, and then accuracy levels off with relatively small gains made even when sample size is increased to as much as 200,000.
d. Accuracy increases quickly, up to about sample size 50, and then accuracy levels off with relatively small gains made even when sample size is increased to as much as 100.
e. We cannot graph sample size and accuracy because we must also include the level of confidence and the variability within the sample data.

26. What three factors are needed to calculate sample size?

a. Variability, accuracy, and confidence level
b. Variability, accuracy, and population size
c. Accuracy, confidence level, and population size
d. Accuracy, population size, and costs
e. Variance, standard deviation, and dispersion

33. Which of the following statements best illustrates the concept of the "level of confidence" or z value chosen in sample size formulae?

A) By setting z at 1.96 it means that the manager could expect, if she conducted the survey many, many times, the value of p would fall within the sample error range 95 percent of the time.
B) By setting z at 1.96 it means that the manager could expect, if she conducted the survey many, many times, the value of p would fall within the sample error range 5 percent of the time.
C) By setting z at 2.58 it means that the manager could expect, if she conducted the survey many, many times, the value of p would fall within the sample error range 95 percent of the time.
D) By setting z at 1.96 it means that the manager could expect, if she conducted the survey many, many times, the value of p would fall within the sample error range 99 percent of the time.
E) By setting z at 2.58 it means that the manager could expect, if she conducted the survey many, many times, the value of p would fall within the sample error range 1 percent of the time.

91. A study is to be performed for a local restaurant, McGuire's, and Mr. McGuire wants to know the awareness of the restaurant name as well as satisfaction with food, service, and prices. Furthermore, being in the restaurant business for many years, Mr. McGuire is certain that he has very different clientele depending on which meal and whether they are there during the weekdays or weekends. Therefore, he wants to know answers to these issues by subgroups such as those who have eaten lunch meals, dinner meals, weekday patrons, and weekend patrons. Given these analysis goals, which sample size approach should be considered?

A) Arbitrary approach
B) Conventional approach
C) Statistical analysis approach
D) Confidence percentage approach
E) The cost basis approach

QUESTION

Assume the following relationships for the Caulder Corp.: $$ \begin{matrix} \text{Sales/Total assets} & \text{1.3 }{\times}\\ \text{Return on assets (ROA)} & \text{4.0\\%}\\ \text{Return on equity (ROE)} & \text{8.0\\%}\\ \end{matrix} $$ Calculate Caulder’s profit margin and debt-to-capital ratio assuming the firm uses only debt and common equity, so total assets equal total invested capital.

QUESTION

Suppose Chance Chemical Company’s management conducted a study and concluded that if it expands its consumer products division (which is less risky than its primary business, industrial chemicals), its beta will decline from 1.2 to 0.9. However, consumer products have a somewhat lower profit margin, and this would cause its constant growth rate in earnings and dividends to fall from 6% to 4%. The following also apply: $\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{M}}=9 \%, \mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{RF}}=6 \%$, and $\mathrm{D}_{0}=\$ 2.00$. a. Should management expand the consumer products division? Explain. b. Assume all the facts given except the change in the beta coefficient. How low would the beta have to fall to cause the expansion to be a good one?

What are the two most important considerations in determining an appropriate sample size?

When thinking about sample size, the two measures of error that are almost always synonymous with sample sizes are the confidence interval and the confidence level.

What are the factors to consider in determining the sample size?

In general, three or four factors must be known or estimated to calculate sample size: (1) the effect size (usually the difference between 2 groups); (2) the population standard deviation (for continuous data); (3) the desired power of the experiment to detect the postulated effect; and (4) the significance level.

What two considerations should be the primary criteria for choosing sample size quizlet?

Three items required to calculate the proper sample size for a survey..
the variability believed to be in the population..
the acceptable margin of sample error..
the level of confidence required in your estimates of the population values..

Which of the following should be considered when determining sample size quizlet?

Which of the following should be considered when determining sample size? The number of variables the researcher is interested in.
