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

4x/5 + 2/3 + 1x/5 = x
Ksju [112]

Answer:

There are no solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x/5+2/3+1x/5=x

4/5x+2/3+1/5x=x

(4/5x+1/5x)+(2/3)=x(Combine Like Terms)

x+23=x

x+23=x

Step 2: Subtract x from both sides.

x+2/3−x=x−x

2/3=0

Step 3: Subtract 2/3 from both sides.

2/3−2/3=0−2/3

0=−2/3

Answer:

There are no solutions.
