The sample of students required to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college is of size  96.04.

For the population mean (μ) , we have the (1 - α)% confidence interval as:

X ± Zₐ / 2 + I / √n

margin of error = MOE = Zₐ / 2 ×I / √n

We are given:

σ = $10

MOE = $2

The critical value of z for 95% confidence level is

Zₐ / 2 = Zₓ = 1.96  ( for x as 0.025)

n = (1.96 (10))²

n = 96.04

Thus, the sample of students required to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college is of size, 96.04.

Answer:

The sample of students required to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college is of size, 96.04

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for population mean (μ) is:

X±Zₐ/2×\frac{σ}{\sqrt{n} }

The margin of error of a (1 - α)% confidence interval for population mean (μ) is:

MOE=Zₐ/2×\frac{σ}{\sqrt{n} }

The information provided is:

σ = $10

MOE = $2

The critical value of z for 95% confidence level is:

Zₐ/2=Z\left \atop {x=\frac{0.05}{2} }} \right.=1.96

Compute the sample size as follows:

MOE=Zₐ/2×\frac{σ}{\sqrt{n} }

n=[\frac{1.96*10}{2}]^2

n=96.04

Thus, the sample of students required to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college is of size, 96.04.

Seven times a number is equal to 9 more than 4 times the number. find the number
Yanka [14]
Represent 'a number' by x
7 times x equals 9 more than 4 times x
7 times x=9+4 times x
7x=9+4x
subtract 4x from both sides
3x=9
divide 3
x=3

the number is 3

Prime factors are factors of a number that are, themselves, prime numbers. There are many methods to find the prime factors of a number, but one of the most common is to use a prime factor tree.

Answers:

x = angle MLN = 35 degrees

angle FLJ = 55 degrees

=================================================

Explanation:

This problem is fairly tricky if you're not sure what to look for. A slight clue is that they've marked a red point that strangely doesn't have a label on it. It's a fairly small point but it's definitely there if you look closely. While this point's location isn't exactly what we want, we're fairly close. Start at point L and draw a ray through the center point P. Ray LP will intersect the circle at point A, as shown in the diagram below.

From here, draw segments FA and MA. Now notice that inscribed angle LMF = 55 and inscribed angle FAL both subtend the same arc. The term "subtend" basically means "cut off". This arc that the inscribed angles subtend is minor arc FL. A minor arc is where you travel the shorter path around the circle, which indicates its measure is less than 180 degrees.

Since inscribed angles LMF and FAL subtend the same minor arc, this makes the inscribed angles to be congruent.

In short: angle FAL is 55 degrees

----------------------

Segment LA goes through the center P. Through Thales theorem, we know that inscribed angle LFA is 90 degrees. Consequently, we can determine that inscribed angle FLA is 90-55 = 35 degrees.

Segment JL is tangent to the circle, meaning that angle ALJ is 90 degrees. So angle FLJ is 90-35 = 55 degrees.

It's not a coincidence that angle FLJ, angle FAL, and angle LMF are the same measure.

----------------------

We found that angle FAL was 55 degrees. Applying Thales theorem again shows that angle MAF is 90 degrees. Therefore, angle LAM is 90-55 = 35 degrees.

Focus now on triangle LMA. This is also a right triangle (Thales Theorem). The upper acute angle we found was angle LAM = 35, so the lower acute angle is ALM = 55.

Then we can find angle MLN = (angle ALN) - (angle ALM) = 90 - 55 = 35

In short, angle MLN = 35 degrees

Similar to the previous section, it is not a coincidence that angles LFM, LAM and MLN are the same measure.

------------------------

As an alternative, since we know angle FLJ = 55, and angle FLM is 90 degrees, this means...

(angle FLJ)+(angle FLM) + (angle MLN) = 180

55 + 90 + angle MLN = 180

145 + angle MLN = 180

angle MLN = 180 - 145

angle MLN = 35 degrees
