wants a 4% margin of error at a 99% confidence level, what size of sample is needed? Give your answer in whole people.

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!

Ahat [919]

Answer:

716 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference = π × Diameter

2 × Radius = Diameter

2 × 114 = 228

Circumference = π × Diameter

Circumference = π × 228 = 228π = 716.283125018

If the graph of a line  in an x y plane and its corresponding equation is given then , all the coordinates of every point on that line will satisfy the equation is a true statement.

<h3>What is the equation for a straight line ?</h3>

An equation of a straight line is given by

y = mx+c

where m is the slope and c is the intercept on y axis.

If the graph of a line  in an x y plane and its corresponding equation is given then , all the coordinates of every point on that line will satisfy the equation .

Even for a scatter plot the line of the best fit is drawn and every point on the line will satisfy the equation.

What is a vertex . Please explain Thanks..
drek231 [11]

Step-by-step explanation: In geometry, a vertex is where two rays share a common endpoint or where they interest each other.

The rays are called the sides of the angle and

common endpoint is called the vertex.

The vertex is very important when naming angles because

the vertex is always at the center when naming the angle.

Below is an example of two rays that share a

common endpoint which is called the vertex.
