Answer:

a. Margin of Error = 0.1386

b. Margin of Error = 0.0694

c. Margin of Error = 0.0439

d. Margin of Error = 0.0220

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of Error = Critical z Value * Standard Error

From the formula, we need the critical z value to get our margin of error

To get the critical value, we need the significance level

Significance level =1 - confidence

Significance level = 1 - 95%

Significance level (SE)= 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Critical value = Z(SE/2)

Critical value = Z(0.05/2)

Critical value = Z(0.0025) = 1.96 ------------ From z table

1. Given

n = 50

π = 0.5

First, we calculate the standard error

Standard Error (SE) = √(π)(1-π)/n

For n =50,

SE = √0.5(1-0.5)/50

= √0.5*0.5/50

= √0.005

SE = 0.070711 (Approximated)

SE = 0.071 (Approximated)

Margin of Error = Critical value * standard error

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.070711

Margin of Error = 0.138594

Margin of Error = 0.1386 ---------- Approximated

2. Given

n = 200

π = 0.5

First, we calculate the standard error

Standard Error (SE) = √(π)(1-π)/n

SE = √0.5(1-0.5)/200

= √0.5*0.5/200

= √0.00125

SE = 0.0354 (Approximated)

Margin of Error = Critical value * standard error

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.0354

Margin of Error = 0.069384

Margin of Error = 0.0694 ---------- Approximated

3. Given

n = 500

π = 0.5

First, we calculate the standard error

Standard Error (SE) = √(π)(1-π)/n

SE = √0.5(1-0.5)/500

= √0.5*0.5/500

= √0.0005

SE = 0.02236067977499789696409

SE = 0.0224 (Approximated)

Margin of Error = Critical value * standard error

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.0224

Margin of Error = 0.043904

Margin of Error = 0.0439 ---------- Approximated

4. Given

n = 2000

π = 0.5

First, we calculate the standard error

Standard Error (SE) = √(π)(1-π)/n

SE = √0.5(1-0.5)/2000

= √0.5*0.5/2000

= √0.000125

SE = 0.01118033988749894848204

SE = 0.0112 (Approximated)

Margin of Error = Critical value * standard error

Margin of Error = 1.96 * 0.0112

Margin of Error = 0.021952

Margin of Error = 0.0220 ---------- Approximated

What is the answer to 3/x-2 is ≥12
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0 < x ≤ 3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps to solve it.

First, you need to solve your inequality step-by-step:

3/x −2 ≥ 12

-2x + 3/x = ≥12

Next, find the critical points of the inequality:

2x + 3/x = 12

−2x + 3 = 12x (Multiply both sides by x)

−2x + 3 − 12x = 12x − 12x (Subtract 12x from both sides)

−14x + 3 = 0

−14x + 3 − 3 = 0 − 3 (Subtract 3 from both sides)

−14x = −3

-14x/ -14 = -3/ -14 (Divide both sides by -14)

So, that gives you your answer:

x = 3/14

HELP HELP PLEASE!! D:<br> Determine the missing side length!! <br> PLEASE NO CAP!!
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

missing side length = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}

a = 6

b = 7

c = missing side

c^{2} = 6^{2} + 7^{2}

c^{2} = 36 + 49

c^{2} = 85

\sqrt{c^{2} } = \sqrt{85}

c = 9.219 = 9
