QUESTION 3 [6] Suppose a sample of 200 local vendors is selected as part of a survey conducted by the Ministry of Trade and it is found that 145 of the local vendors make an average income in excess of N$ 7 600 per month. a) Suppose that a 98% confidence interval estimate of the proportion of local vendors who make an average income more than N$ 7 600 per month is required. How large a sample should be taken if the desired margin of error is 8%? (2) b) Suppose it has been established from past studies that not more than 65% of local vendors make an average income in excess of N$ 7 600 per month. Use the critical value approach and conduct a hypothesis test at a 5% level of significance to determine whether the proportion of local vendors who make an average income in excess of N$ 7 600 per month differs from the historical level.
