Solution
Para calcular el margen de error de las observaciones de Alfred, primero necesitamos determinar la proporción de cada tipo de ave y luego usar la fórmula del margen de error para una proporción.
-
Calcular la proporción de cada tipo de ave:
- Total de aves observadas = 40 (marrones) + 30 (rojas) + 25 (amarillas) + 15 (azules) = 110 aves.
-
Proporción de cada tipo de ave:
- Proporción de aves marrones = 40 / 110 ≈ 0.364
- Proporción de aves rojas = 30 / 110 ≈ 0.273
- Proporción de aves amarillas = 25 / 110 ≈ 0.227
- Proporción de aves azules = 15 / 110 ≈ 0.136
-
Calcular el margen de error:
- Usamos la fórmula del margen de error para una proporción:
- Para un nivel de confianza del 95%, el valor crítico es aproximadamente 1.96.
- es la proporción de aves observadas y es el tamaño de la muestra (110).
Vamos a calcular el margen de error para cada tipo de ave:
-
Para aves marrones:
-
Para aves rojas:
-
Para aves amarillas:
-
Para aves azules:
Ahora, para la encuesta en Arequipa:
-
Calcular la proporción de apoyo:
- Total de encuestados = 5499 (apoyo) + 3463 (desaprobación) = 8962.
- Proporción de apoyo .
-
Calcular el margen de error:
- Usamos la misma fórmula del margen de error para una proporción.
- .
-
Calcular el intervalo de confianza:
- Límite inferior = .
- Límite superior = .
Por lo tanto, el intervalo de confianza del 95% para el apoyo al nuevo servicio ferroviario es aproximadamente de 0.604 a 0.624.
