The number of randomly selected employers that would have to be contacted is 9604

<h3>How to solve for the value of n</h3>

The confidence level is 95%

1 - 0.95 = 0.05

We have to get the z value at 0.05

0.05/2 = 0.025

Using the standard normal table, the critical value at 0.025 = 1.96

We have to define the probability as P = 50% = 0.5

we have to define q = 1 - 50% = 0.5

The formula that would be used to find the value of n is given as

$n = pq\frac{Zc}{E} ^2$

These variables used are:

pq = variance of population

E = margin of error = 0.01

critical value = Zc = 1.96

$n = 0.5*0.5 (\frac{1.96}{0.01})^2$

= 0.25 * 38416

= 9604

Hence the sample space is given as 9604

Use the method of completing the square to write the equation of the given parabola in this form:

siniylev [52]

Formula is y = a(x-h)^2 + k

Where h is 1 and k is 1

f (x) = a(x-1)^2 + 1

-3 = a(0-1)^2 + 1

-3 = a(-1)^2 + 1

-3 = a(1) + 1

-3 - 1 = a

-4 = a

a = -4

A must be equal to -4

y = -4(x-1)^2 + 1

0 = -4(x-1)^2 + 1

4(x^2 - 2x + 1) - 1 = 0

4x^2 - 8x + 4 - 1 = 0

4x^2 - 8x + 3 = 0

4x^2 - 8x = -3

Divide fpr 4 each term of the equation....x^2 - 2x = -3/4

We must factor the perfect square ax^2 + bx + c which we don't have. We must follow the rule (b/2)^2 where b is -2....(-2/2)^2 = (-1)^2 = 1 and we add up that to both sides

x^2 - 2x + 1 = -3/4 + 1

x^2 - 2x + 1 = 1/4

(x-1)^2 = 1/4

square root both sides x-1 = (+/-) 1/2

x1 = +1/2 + 1 = 3/2

x2 = -1/2 + 1 = 1/2

x-intercepts are 1/2 and 3/2, in form (3/2,0); (1/2,0)
