The sample size must be 543 so the sample proportion is will not differ by 5%

We are given the following in the question:

Margin of error = 5%

Confidence interval:

p ±z√(p'(1 - p')/n)

Margin of error =

p = ±z√(p'(1 - p')/n)

Since no particular proportion is given, we take

p' = 0.5

Z critical at α 0.02 is ± 2.33

Putting values, we get,

p = ±z√(p'(1 - p')/n)

2.33 x √(0.5(1 - 0.5)/n)

√n = 2.33x 0.5/0.05

n = 542.89 = 543

Thus, the sample size must be 543 so the sample proportion is will not differ by 5%

Find the series in A.P whose sum to n terms is n*(n+2)​
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

3, 5, 7, 9, 11, .........

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

S_{n} = n(n + 2) , then

S₁ = 1(1 + 2) = 1(3) = 3 ⇒ a₁ = 3

S₂ = 2(2 + 2) = 2(4) = 8

S₃ = 3(3 + 2) = 3(5) = 15

Thus

a₂ = S₂ - S₁ = 8 - 3 = 5

a₃ = S₃ - S₂ = 15 - 8 = 7

The first 3 terms are 3, 5, 7

This is an AP with common difference d = 2, then

a₄ = a₃ + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

a₅ = a₄ + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11

and so on

Determine the intercepts of the line that passes through the following points. (-5,-7) (0,-5) (5,-3)
MAVERICK [17]
To find the y intercept you use this equation:

y2 - y1

Same for x intercept:

x2 - x1

Pick two points, put in the values, and solve.

(-5,-7) and (0,-5)

-5 - (-7) = 2
0 - (-5) = 5

The y intercept is (0,2)
The x intercept is (5,0)

Hope this helps! :)
