Question

Detailed surveys are sent to 13,000 organizations on the Internet to determine who uses the Internet more (women or men). 1,468 responses were received. The margin of error was 2.8 percent, with a confidence level of 95%. What was the response rate for this survey

Answer 1

Answer: 11.29%

Explanation:

Given : The sample size : n= 13,000

The number of responses we received = 1,468

Then , the response rate for this survey is given by :-

`\hat{p}=\frac{\text{\text{Number of response received }}}{\text{Sample size}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \hat{p}=(1468)/(13000)=0.112923076923\approx0.1129`

In percent , the response rate =
`11.29\%`

Hence, the response rate = 11.29%
