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

Does anyone understand this

Nataliya [291]

For this problem, 0.25 in = 50 m. So

11 in = (11 in) • (50/0.25 m/in) = 2200 m

Alternatively, if 0.25 in = 50 m, that means 1 in = 200 m. So 11 in = 11 (200 m) = 2200 m.

Use the Polynomial Identity below to help you create a list of 10 Pythagorean Triples:

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

(3,4,5)

(6,8,10)

(5,12,13)

(8,15,17)

(12,16,20)

(7,24,25)

(10,24,26)

(20,21,29)

(16,30,34)

(9,40,41)

Just choose 2 numbers from {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...} and make sure the one you input for x is larger.

Post the three in the comments and I will check them for you.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to choose 2 positive integers for x and y where x>y.

Positive integers are {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,.....}.

I'm going to start with (x,y)=(2,1).

x=2 and y=1.

$(2^2+1^2)^2=(2^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot2\cdot1)^2$

$(4+1)^2=(4-1)^2+(4)^2$

$(5)^2=(3)^2+(4)^2$

So one Pythagorean Triple is (3,4,5).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(3,1).

x=3 and y=1.

$(3^2+1^2)^2=(3^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot3\cdot1)^2$

$(9+1)^2=(9-1)^2+(6)^2$

$(10)^2=(8)^2+(6)^2$

So another Pythagorean Triple is (6,8,10).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(3,2).

x=3 and y=2.

$(3^2+2^2)^2=(3^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot3\cdot2)^2$

$(9+4)^2=(9-4)^2+(12)^2$

$(13)^2=(5)^2+(12)^2$

So another is (5,12,13).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,1).

$(4^2+1^2)^2=(4^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot1)^2$

$(16+1)^2=(16-1)^2+(8)^2$

$(17)^2=(15)^2+(8)^2$

Another is (8,15,17).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,2).

$(4^2+2^2)^2=(4^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot2)^2$

$(16+4)^2=(16-4)^2+(16)^2$

$(20)^2=(12)^2+(16)^2$

We have another which is (12,16,20).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,3).

$(4^2+3^2)^2=(4^2-3^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot3)^2$

$(16+9)^2=(16-9)^2+(24)^2$

$(25)^2=(7)^2+(24)^2$

We have another is (7,24,25).

You are just choosing numbers from the positive integer set {1,2,3,4,... } and making sure the number you plug in for x is higher than the number for y.

I will do one more.

Let's choose (x,y)=(5,1).

$(5^2+1^2)^2=(5^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot1)^2$

$(25+1)^2=(25-1)^2+(10)^2$

$(26)^2=(24)^2+(10)^2$

So (10,24,26) is another.

Let (x,y)=(5,2).

$(5^2+2^2)^2=(5^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot2)^2$

$(25+4)^2=(25-4)^2+(20)^2$

$(29)^2=(21)^2+(20)^2$

So another Pythagorean Triple is (20,21,29).

Choose (x,y)=(5,3).

$(5^2+3^2)^2=(5^2-3^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot3)^2$

$(25+9)^2=(25-9)^2+(30)^2$

$(34)^2=(16)^2+(30)^2$

Another Pythagorean Triple is (16,30,34).

Let (x,y)=(5,4)

$(5^2+4^2)^2=(5^2-4^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot4)^2$

$(25+16)^2=(25-16)^2+(40)^2$

$(41)^2=(9)^2+(40)^2$

Another is (9,40,41).
