20 Recall Ex. 5.5: Pollig Estimate Presidet Obama's approval ratig by askig persos draw at radom from the voter populatio. Let 1, if the i-th perso approves X i = 0, otherwise Model X 1, X 2,, X as idepedet Beroulli r.v.'s with mea p ad variace p(1-p), where p is the "true" approval ratig. We estimate p as the sample mea: M = X 1 + X X p(1 p) E[M ] = p, var(m ) = By WLLN, M p i probability as. By Chebyshev iequality, P( M ) Suppose we wat P M p 0.01 p(1 p) ε 2 1 4ε 2 ( ) I.e., we wat to be 95% cofidet that we are withi 0.01 of the actual approval ratig. We ca guaratee this 1 if we take 4ε = 1 = 50,000. Note: This is very coservative because the Chebyshev iequality is loose!
