Suppose the U.S. president wants to estimate the proportion of the population that supports his current policy toward revisions

in the health care system. The president wants the margin of error to be 0.05. Assume a 98% level of confidence. The president’s political advisors found a similar survey from two years ago that reported that 46% of people supported health care revisions. (Use t Distribution Table & z Distribution Table.)
Required:

a. How large of a sample is required? (Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)

b. How large of a sample would be necessary if no estimate were available for the proportion supporting current policy? (Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)

The sample size for part (a) is 540, and the sample size for part (b) is 543 if the margin of error to be 0.05.

<h3>What is the margin of error(MOE)?</h3>

It is defined as an error that provides an estimate of the percentage of errors in real statistical data.

The formula for finding the MOE:

\rm MOE = Z\times \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Where   Z is the z-score at the confidence interval

            s is the standard deviation

            n is the number of samples.

We know:

\rm MOE = Z \times \sqrt{\dfrac{pq}{n}}

We have MOE = 0.05, p = 46% = 0.46,

q = 1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

Z at 0.02(because 98% level of confidence) = 2.33

Plug this value in the formula we get:

\rm 0.05 = 2.33 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.46\times0.54}{n}}

After solving:

n = 539.41 ≈ 540

If no estimate is given:

p = 0.5 and q = 0.5

\rm 0.05 = 2.33 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.5\times0.5}{n}}

n = 542.89 ≈ 543

Thus, the sample size for part (a) is 540, and the sample size for part (b) is 543 if the margin of error to be 0.05.

What is 2 to the power of 4 over 3 equal to? (5 points)
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The answer is the option C

cube root of 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

a^{\frac{x}{y}} =\sqrt[y]{a^{x}}

in this problem we have

a^{\frac{x}{y}}=2^{\frac{4}{3}}

therefore

2^{\frac{4}{3}} =\sqrt[3]{2^{4}}=\sqrt[3]{16}

Which graph shows the equation c = 10+ 3t, where c is the total cost of going to the carnival and t is the number of $3 tickets
lubasha [3.4K]

we have

c = 10+ 3t

where

c---------> is the total cost of going to the carnival

t---------> is the number of \$3 tickets purchased

we know that

<u>the domain of the function is the interva</u>l---------------> [0,∞)

Because the number of tickets can not be negative

<u>The range of the function is the interval</u>-------------> [10,∞)

Because the total cost can not be negative

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

On the first day in each month, Enid deposited $4 into her bank account and Jim deposited $3 into his. They opened these account
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The amount of money in Enid bank account can be written as a linear equation.

Ye = Xe + $4*m

where Ye is the money that Enid has in her account, m is the number of months that have passed since she opened it, and Xe is the initial deposit.

For Jim, the equation is similar:

Yj = Xj + $3*m

where Yj and Xj are similar as above.

Between May 15 and December 31 of the same year, we have 7 months (where i am counting December because the deposit is made in the first day of the month).

Then we have that:

Ye = $72 = Xe + $4*7 = Xe + $28

Xe = $72 - $28 = $44

So in May 15, Enid deposited $44.

For Jim we have:

Yj = $72 = Xj + $3*7 = Xj + $21

Xj = $72 - $21 = $51

So in May 15, Jim deposited $51.
