题目
A researcher chose a random sample of adults in Dombridge for a survey about dog ownership.
The number of adults in the survey who owned a dog was . An approximate confidence interval for the population proportion, , of all the adults in Dombridge who owned a dog was calculated. The width of the interval was , correct to decimal places.
(a) Calculate the two possible values of .
Two approximate confidence intervals were found.
(b) Given that at least one of these intervals contain the true value of , find the probability that both intervals contain the true value of .
The survey included a question about the distance, kilometres, that the adults walked with their dog each day. The results were summarised as follows.
(c) Find unbiased estimates of the mean and variance of .

一名研究人员从 Dombridge 随机抽取 名成年人,就养狗情况进行调查。
受访成年人中有 人养狗。用 表示 Dombridge 所有成年人中养狗者的总体比例,并求得 的一个近似 置信区间。这个区间的宽度为 (保留 位小数)。
(a) 计算 的两个可能值。
现求得两个近似 置信区间。
(b) 已知这两个区间中至少有一个包含 的真实值,求两个区间都包含 的真实值的概率。
调查中有一道问题,询问这些成年人每天遛狗走过的距离 (以千米为单位)。结果汇总如下。
(c) 求 的均值和方差的无偏估计值。
原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。
官方原题:(b)只说明找到两个近似 置信区间,未说明它们的覆盖事件是否独立。
实际上应为:同一置信水平只给出各自的覆盖概率,不能确定两者的联合概率,因此原条件不足以唯一计算所求条件概率。额外假设覆盖事件独立时,才得到评分标准的 。

Thus or , giving or . The integer possibilities are therefore
For either value, the width calculated with is
