Find the sample size required to estimate the percentage of college students who take a statistics course. Assume that we want 95% confidence that the proportion from the sample is within four percentage points of the true population percentage. Round the answer to the next larger whole number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample size is    [tex]n = 600 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The margin of error is  E = 4% = 0.04

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      [tex]\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%[/tex]

=>   [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex]

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] is  

   [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96[/tex]

Since the sample proportion (point estimate of the population proportion was not give we will assume it to be  )

       [tex]\^ p = 0.5[/tex]

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    [tex]n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p ) [/tex]

=>  [tex]n = [\frac{1.96}{0.04} ]^2 * 0.5 (1 - 0.5 ) [/tex]

=>  [tex]n = 600 [/tex]

OP/4.-7). Q18. -7). R33)
OP(-7). QI-S.-7), R(-3.3)
OPT+7). Q1-8. 7). R(-3, -3)

Answers

After a reflection across line y=x the vertices of triangle P’Q’R’ are as follows
P’= (-1,-7)
Q’= (-8-7)
R’= (-3,3)

The vertices of the image triangle reflected across the line y = x are P'( -1, -7), Q'( -8, -7), and R'( -3, 3).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

P'( -1, -7), Q'( -8, -7), R'( -3, 3)

Here,

To find the image of the triangle vertices reflected across the line y = x, we need to swap the x-coordinates with the y-coordinates.

Original vertices of the triangle:

P(-7, -1)

Q(-7, -8)

R(3, -3)

Now, swap the x and y coordinates to get the reflected image:

Reflected image vertices:

P'( -1, -7)

Q'( -8, -7)

R'( -3, 3)

So, the vertices of the image triangle reflected across the line y = x are P'( -1, -7), Q'( -8, -7), and R'( -3, 3).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

P'( -1, -7), Q'( -8, -7), R'( -3, 3).

Byron is 2 years younger than Cindy. Eight
years ago, the sum of their ages was 14.
How old is Byron now?​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

let age of Byron be b yr old and Cindy be c yr old.

c = b + 2 --(1)

b - 8 + c - 8 = 14

b + c = 30 --(2)

sub (1) into (2):

2b = 28

b = 14

therefore Byron is 14 yr old now.

Byron is 2 years at that time. Definitely, Cindy is 12 years old so the sum of their ages was 14. Let us just add 8 years to Byron's age at that time so 2 + 8 = 10

If the mean of 20 prices is $10.39, and 5 of the items with a mean of $10.99 are sampled, what is the mean of the other 15 prices?

Answers

Answer:

$10.19

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told:

If the mean of 20 prices is $10.39

We have to find the total price

= Mean × number of prices

= 20 × $10.39

= $207.8

5 of the items with a mean of $10.99 are sampled

We would also find the total price

Mean × Number of samples

$10.99 × 5

= $54.95

what is the mean of the other 15 prices?

We find the total prices of the 15 prices

= Total 20 prices - Total of 5 prices

= $207.8 - $54.95

= $152.85

The mean of the other 15 prices

= $152.85/15

= $10.19

Mrs. Thompson wants to buy centerpieces to use at a party. It will cost $49 to have the centerpieces delivered plus $0.89 per centerpiece.

Part A
Let c be the number of centerpieces that Mrs. Thompson purchases. Choose the expression that shows the amount of money she will pay altogether for each centerpiece.
49c + 0.89
0.89 + c + 49
c(0.89 + 49)
49 + 0.89c
Part B
Evaluate the expression to find out how much Mrs. Thompson will pay if she orders 400 centerpieces.
Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

a. 49 + 0.89c

b. $400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Delivery = $49

Cost per Centrepiece = $0.89

Solving (a): Expression that represents the equation.

From the question, we have that the number of centrepiece is represented by c

The expression can be gotten by the following formula.

Cost of Delivery + Cost per centrepiece * Number of centrepieces

This gives

49 + 0.89 * c

49 + 0.89c

Hence, the expression that represents the scenario is 49 + 0.89c

Solving (b): Payment for 400 centrepieces

To solve this, we simply substitute 400 for c in the expression in (a)

This gives:

Payment = 49 + 0.89 * 400

Payment = 49 + 356

Payment = 405

Hence, Mrs. Thompson will pay $405 for 400 centerpieces

The weekly salaries of teachers in one state are normally distributed with a mean of $490 and a standard deviation of $45. What is the probability that a randomly selected teacher earns more than $460 a week?

Answers

Answer:

0.74751

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where

x is the raw score = $460

μ is the population mean = $490

σ is the population standard deviation = $45

z = 460 - 490/45

z = -0.66667

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x < 460) = 0.25249

P(x > 460) = 1 - P(x<460)

P(x > 460) = 1 - 0.25249

P(x > 460) = 0.74751

The probability that a randomly selected teacher earns more than $460 a week is 0.74751

d Question 5 5. Given A is between Y and Z and YA = 14x, AZ = 10x and YZ = 12x + 48, find AZ

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If A is in between Y and Z, then;

YA+AZ = YZ

Given.

YA = 14x,

AZ = 10x and

YZ = 12x + 48

Substitute into the formula

14x+10x = 12x+48

Find x;

24x = 12x+48

24x-12x = 48

12x = 48

x = 48/12

x = 4

Get AZ

AZ = 10x

AZ =10(4)

AZ = 40
