Answer:

a) n=\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=584.8836  

And rounded up we have that n=585

b) n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=600.25  

And rounded up we have that n=601

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.04 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

Part a

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

t_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=584.8836  

And rounded up we have that n=585

Part b

For this case since we don't have previous info for p we can use \hat p =0.5

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.04}{1.96})^2}=600.25  

And rounded up we have that n=601

the function f(x) = 3,005(1+0.03)^x represents the amount of money in a savings account where x represents time in years. what d
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Option d. the initial amount of money placed in the savings account

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=3,005(1+0.03)^{x}

This is a exponential function of the form

f(x)=a(1+r)^{x}

where

a is the initial value

r is the growth rate

(1+r) is the base

x is the number of years

f(x) is the amount of money in a savings account

In this problem we have

a=$3,005

r=0.03=3%

(1+r)=1.03

therefore

3,005 represent the initial value ( the amount of money for the value of x equal to zero)
