stat: sample of 780 adults in the U.S.A., it was found that 80 of those had a pinworm infestation. You want to find the 99% conf

idence interval for the proportion of all U.S. adults with pinworm, In a prior sample of U.S. adults, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), found that 10% of the people in this sample had pinworm but 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.What is the minimum sample size required to obtain this type of accuracy?

Answer: 554

Step-by-step explanation:

If prior population proportion is known, then the formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2

As per given description, we have

p= 0.1

E=0.025

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

Then,

n=0.1(1-0.1)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.025})^2=553.1904\approx554

Hence, the minimum sample size required = 554.

Anita is years older than Basilio. Three times Anita's age added to six times Basilio's age is 36. 1. Define the variables 2. Cr
Scilla [17]

Answer :Anita's age = 7 years

Basilio's age = 2.5 years

Step 1. Assign variables to Anita's and Basilio's ages.

Anita's age = A

Basilio's age = B

 

Step 2. Use the information given to form two equations.

Anita is 4-1/2 years older than Basilio

A = 4.5 + B

 

Three times Anita's age added to six times Basilio's age is 36

3A + 6B = 36

 

Step 3. Substitute the value of A from first equation in to the second equation and solve for B

3(4.5 + B) + 6B = 36

13.5 + 3B + 6B = 36

13.5 + 9B = 36

9B = 36 - 13.5

9B = 22.5

B = 22.5/9 = 2.5

 

Step 4. Find the value of A

A = 4.5 + 2.5 = 7

 

Answer:

Anita's age = 7 years

Basilio's age = 2.5 years
