Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is:

X: Number of people that support the candidate.

You need to calculate the sample size to estimate the population proportion of supporters given a confidence level of 99% and a margin of error of 4%

The margin of error of the confidence level for the population proportion is

d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

From this formula you have to clear the value of n:

\frac{d}{Z_{1-\alpha /2}}= \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

(\frac{d}{Z_{1-\alpha /2}})^2= \frac{p'(1-p')}{n}

n*(\frac{d}{Z_{1-\alpha /2}})^2= p'(1-p')

n= p'(1-p') * (\frac{Z_{1-\alpha/2}}{d} )^2

Z_{1-\alpha/2}= Z_{0.995}= 2.586

sample proportion "p'" since there is no sample information, nor any previous information is known, you have to consider it as the "worse case scenario" and use the value of p'= 0.50

d= 0.04

n= p'(1-p') * (\frac{Z_{1-\alpha/2}}{d} )^2= 0.5*0.5*(\frac{2.586}{0.04} )^2= 1044.9= 1045

She has to take a sample of 1045 people to estimate the population proportion of her supporters with a confidence level of 99% and a margin of error of 4%

I hope this helps!

<h3>Answer: Monthly Payment = $12,083.34</h3>

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

Explanation:

i = P*r*t ... simple interest formula

i = (1,500,000)*(0.03)*(15)

i = 675,000

The amount of interest you need to pay is $675,000

The total amount to pay back is 1,500,000+675,000 = 2,175,000 dollars.

Divide this over 180 months (since 15 years = 15*12 = 180 months) to get

(2,175,000)/180 = 12,083.3333333333

This rounds up to the nearest cent to get 12,083.34

I rounded up to make sure to clear the hurdle. Note how

180*(12,083.33) = 2,174,999.4

which is a bit short of the 2,175,000 mark we're after
