Calculate the number of male and female students required to ensure a sample of 10 students contains the same proportions as the full population, which contains 22 male and 28 female students.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "male/female = 22/28=11/14\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A sample of size 10 is not large enough to have whole human beings
\n" ); document.write( "in the desired proportion.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A sample of size 100 would do it.
\n" ); document.write( "The numbers would be 44 male and 56 female.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You get this by considering the whole number multiples of 11 and 14
\n" ); document.write( "4*11 = 44 and 4*14= 56 and 44+56 = 100
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
