You are the operations manager for an airline and you are considering a higher fare level for passengers in aisle seats. How man

y randomly selected air passengers must you​ survey? Assume that you want to be 90​% confident that the sample percentage is within 1.5 percentage points of the true population percentage. Complete parts​ (a) and​ (b) below. Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of passengers who prefer aisle seats.

Using the z-distribution, it is found that 3,007 passengers must be surveyed.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

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

In which:

  • \pi is the sample proportion.
  • z is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.

The margin of error is given by:

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

In this problem, we have a 90% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.9, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95, so the critical value is z = 1.645.

In this problem, we desired a margin of error of M = 0.015, with no prior estimate, hence \pi = 0.5, then we solve for n to find the minimum sample size.

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

0.015 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}

0.015\sqrt{n} = 1.645(0.5)

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645(0.5)}{0.015}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645(0.5)}{0.015}\right)^2

n = 3007.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

  • 39 1/5 or 39.2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Sum of 8 fifths and 4:</u>

  • 8/5 + 4 =
  • 1 3/5 + 4 =
  • 5 3/5

<u>7 copies of the of sum of 8 fifths and 4:</u>

  • 7 × 5 3/5 =
  • 7( 5 + 3/5) =
  • 35 + 7(3/5) =
  • 35 + 21/5 =
  • 35 + 4 1/5 =
  • 39 1/5 or 39.2

Divide the binomial by the monomial to find the quotient -36x^4y + 144x^2 y^6/ -4x^2y
elixir [45]
The way that you would do this is by taking -4x^{2} out of the binomial, or as I like to think about it, 'un-distributing'. :p
-4x^{2} out of -36x^{2}y, you end up with 12x^{2}. 
When you take -4x^{2} out of 144x^{2}y{6}, you get -36y^{5}. 
Put it together, and the solution is 12x^{2} - 36y^{5}.

Hope I helped!!

How is 2 ones the same as 20 tenths?
yan [13]

It's because a tenth means that you've divided it by 10. So if it's 20, it means you're multiplying tenths by 20, leaving you with 2 wholes.

For example, you have 2 cakes and you cut each into 10 slices, the slices are each one tenth of the whole cake, and in total there are 20 tenths.
