A survey study is to be made to estimate the proportion of residents of a certain suburb who favor the construction of a public

park near the suburb. The survey will ask at least 30 residents about their opinion regarding the construction. How large a sample is needed if one wishes to be at least 95% confident that the estimate is within 0.04 of the true proportion of residents favoring the construction of the public park?

Answer: 601

Step-by-step explanation:

When the prior estimate of population proportion is not given , the formula we apply to find sample size :

n=0.25(\dfrac{z^*}{E})^2

, where z* = critical z-value

E=Margin of error

Given : Margin of error = 0.04

Confidence level = 95%

We know that , according to the z-table , the critical value for 95% confidence interval = z*= 1.960

Then, the required sample size : n=0.25(\dfrac{1.960}{0.04})^2

n=0.25(49)^2

n=0.25(2401)=600.25\approx601

Hence, the required minimum sample size = 601

Find the slope of a line whose equation is 3X+6Y=9
Lisa [10]

To find the slope of the above equation, it is easiest to put it into slope-intercept form, y=mx + b, where the variable m represents the slope. To do this, we must isolate the variable y on the left side of the equation by using the reverse order of operations. First, we should subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.

3x + 6y = 9

6y = -3x + 9

Next, we should divide both sides of the equation by 6 to undo the coefficent of 6 on the variable y.

y = -1/2x + 3/2

Therefore, the slope of the line is -1/2 (the coefficient of the variable x in slope-intercept form).

Hope this helps!

HELP !! ASAP !!
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The roots are;

x = (2 + i)/5 or (2-i)/5

where the term i is the complex number representing the square root of -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to use the completing the square method to solve the quadratic equation;

f(x) = -5x^2 + 4x -1

Set the function to zero

0 = -5x^2 + 4x - 1

So;

-5x^2 + 4x = 1

divide through by the coefficient of x which is -5

x^2 - 4/5x = -1/5

We now take half of the coefficient of x and square it

= -2/5^2 = 4/25

add it to both sides

x^2 - 4x/5 + 4/25= -1/5 + 4/25

(x- 2/5)^2 = -1/5 + 4/25

(x - 2/5)^2 = -1/25

Take the square root of both sides

x - 2/5 = √( -1/25

x - 2/5 = +i/5 or -i/5

x = 2/5 + i/5 or 2/5 - i/5
