In a prior sample of U.S. adults, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), found that 8% of the people in this sample had pinworm b

ut the margin of error for the population estimate was too large. They want an estimate that is in error by no more than 2.5 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. Enter your answers as whole numbers.
(a) What is the minimum sample size required to obtain this type of accuracy? Use the prior sample proportion in your calculation. The minimum sample size is 1 U.S. adults.


(b) What is the minimum sample size required to obtain this type of accuracy when you assume no prior knowledge of the sample proportion? The minimum sample size is 2 U.S. adults.

Answer: a) 453  b) 1537

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Margin of error : E= 0.025

Critical value for 95% confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

a) The prior estimate of population proportion : p=0.08

Required sample size :-

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.08(1-0.08)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.025})^2\\\\=452.386816\approx453

The minimum sample size is 453 U.S. adults.

b) Since the prior estimate of population proportion is not available , so we take p= 0.5

Required sample size :-

n=0.5(1-0.5)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.25(\dfrac{1.96}{0.025})^2\\\\=1536.64\approx1537

The minimum sample size is 1537 U.S. adults.

Use the T-table below to determine 3 solutions to this equation: y = 2x
Jet001 [13]
The table is attached as a figure

The given equation is ⇒⇒⇒⇒ y = 2x
To solve this equation, we need to pick numbers from the table then this number will be substituted into the equation to find y
we need 3 solutions . so, we need to pick 3 numbers of x
From the table, let us choose x = 0
y = 2x
y = 2 * (0)
y = 0

From the table, let choose second value of x such as x = 1
y = 2 * (1)
y = 2

From the table, let choose third value of x such as x = -1
y = 2 * (-1)
y = -2

So, the picked three solutions are
y = 0  at   x = 0
y = -2  at  x = -1
y = 2 at  x = 1

A Sum of $14 is made of 92 coins consisting of dimes and quarters. How Many are there of each kind of coin
steposvetlana [31]
So first I would say, what if all of them were dimes, how far away would it be from $14?

So 92 coins * 10 cents = $9.20

So it's 4.80 dollars away from 14 dollars.

So if we were to switch one to a quarter, it would increase by 0.15 cents.

So we want to see how many increases we need to reach 4.80 dollars more.

4.80/0.15 = 32

So there are 32 quarters and 60 dimes.
