The second worker needs 8 hours to clean the suite alone.

<h3> How long does it take the second worker to do the same job​ alone?</h3>

The first work does the job in 8 hours, then we can write the rate as:

R*8h = 1 suite

R = (1/8) suite per hour.

The other worker works at a rate R', and when they work together they need 4 hours, then:

(R + R')*4h = 1 suite.

Now we can solve this for R':

R' = (1/4) suite per hour - R =  (1/4) suite per hour - (1/8) suite per hour

R' =  (2/8) suite per hour - (1/8) suite per hour = (1/8) suite per hour.

So the second worker works at the same rate than the first one, which means that he would need 8 hours to clean the suite alone.

A researcher wishes to estimate the number of households with two cars. How large a sample is needed in order to be 99% confiden
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Sample size n = 1382

so correct option is D) 1382

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

confidence level = 99 %

margin of error = 3%

probability = 25 %

to find out

How large a sample size needed

solution

we know here P = 25 %

so 1 - P = 1 - 0.25

1 - P  = 0.75

and we know E margin of error is 0.03 so value of Z for 99%

α = 1 - 99%   = 1 - 0.99

α  = 0.01

and  \frac{\alpha}{2} = \frac{0.01}{2}

\frac{\alpha}{2}  = 0.005

so Z is here

Z_(\frac{\alpha}{2}) = 2.576

so

sample size will be

Sample size n =  (\frac{(Z_(\frac{\alpha}{2})}{E})^2 * P * (1-P)

put here value

Sample size n = (\frac{2.576}{0.03})^2 * 0.25 * 0.75

Sample size n = 1382

so correct option is D) 1382
