Yes as the even times the occurrence of negative signs makes the answer positive.

A dog weighs 44 pounds and the veterinaria

Bumek [7]

Both equations are correct. x= 37. plugging in 37 for x gets the right answer for both. 44-(37)=7 and (37)+7=44. Another equation you could use is 44-7=x... which makes x = 37. does that make any more sense than my last response? I hope so.

In a study of government financial aid for college students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of full-time coll

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

a) n = 1037.

b) n = 1026.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

(a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage to be estimated.

We need to find n when M = 0.04.

We dont know the percentage to be estimated, so we use $\pi = 0.5$ , which is when we are going to need the largest sample size.

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.5$

$(\sqrt{n}) = \frac{2.575*0.5}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*0.5}{0.04})^{2}$

$n = 1036.03$

Rounding up

n = 1037.

(b) Assume prior studies have shown that about 55% of full-time students earn bachelor's degrees in four years or less.

$\pi = 0.55$

So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.55*0.45}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 2.575*\sqrt{0.55*0.45}$

$(\sqrt{n}) = \frac{2.575*\sqrt{0.55*0.45}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*\sqrt{0.55*0.45}}{0.04})^{2}$

$n = 1025.7$

Rounding up

n = 1026.
