Find the minimum sample size needed to estimate the percentage of Democrats who have a sibling. Use a 0.1 margin of error, use a

confidence level of 98%, and use the results from a prior Harris poll that gave a confidence interval of (0.44, 0.51) for the proportion of Democrats who have a sibling.

Answer:

The minimum sample size is  n  =135

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The confidence interval is ( lower \ limit  = \  0.44,\ \ \   upper \ limit  = \ 0.51)

    The margin of error is  E =  0.1

   

Generally the sample  proportion can be mathematically evaluated as

     \r p = \frac{ upper \ limit  + lower \ limit }{2}

    \r p = \frac{ 0.51 + 0.44}{2}

    \r p = 0.475

Given that the confidence level is  98% then the level of significance can be mathematically evaluated as

         \alpha = 100 -  98

        \alpha = 2\%

        \alpha =0.02

Next we obtain the critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table  

   The value is

        Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  2.33

Generally the minimum sample size is evaluated as

      n  =[ \frac { Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 *  \r p (1- \r p )

     n  =[ \frac { 2.33}{0.1} ]^2 *  0.475(1- 0.475 )

     n  =135

Which relation is a function
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Top left

Step-by-step explanation:


In order for it to be a function, it has to pass the vertical line test.  So draw a line down the middle of the graphs.  If it passes once, then it is a function, if it passes more than once it is not.

Albert receives $0.30 per pound for 1 to 49 pounds of glass bottles he recycles. He receives $0.40
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money Albert receives is described by the expression

y = \begin{cases}0.30x  & \quad \text{if } 0 \leq x \leq 49 \\0.40x & \quad \text{if } x > 50\\\end{cases}

The graph is shown below.

To determine if the relation is a function,  we can use the vertical line test:  

If a vertical line crosses the graph more than once in any location, the relation is not a function.

We see that at no place will a vertical line intersect the graph more than once.

The relation is a function.
