Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

<h3>Step 1</h3>

write the expression for the difference of the number and 4.

=> x - 4

<h3>Step 2</h3>

the question equates 5 times the difference with some other terms, so find the equation for 5 times the difference.

=> 5( x - 4)

<h3>Step 3</h3>

The equation in Step 2 is said to be equal to "two less than four times the number".

Find the expression for four times the number

=> 4x

<h3>Step 4</h3>

Find the expression for two less than 4x.

=> 4x - 2

<h3>Step 5</h3>

Equate the terms that it says are equal:

=> 5(x - 4) = 4x - 2

<em>distributing</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>within</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>parenthesis</em><em>:</em>

=> 5x - 20 = 4x - 2

<em>t</em><em>a</em><em>k</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em> </em><em>like</em><em> </em><em>terms</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>one</em><em> </em><em>side</em><em>:</em>

=> 5x - 4x = 20 - 2

  • (the sign carried by the terms get inverted while changing their sides)

=> x = 18

<em>and x was the required number, so the answer Is 18. </em>

A phycologist is interested in determining the proportion of algae samples from a local rivulet that belong to a particular phyl
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

A sample of 16577 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

She wants to estimate the proportion using a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error of at most 0.01. How large a sample size would be required?

We have no estimation for the proportion, and thus we use \pi = 0.5, which is when the largest sample size will be needed.

The sample size is n for which M = 0.01. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.01 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.01\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.5}{0.01}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*0.5}{0.01})^2

n = 16576.6

Rounding up:

A sample of 16577 is required.
