8a - 4 = 25 + 6 (a - 8)
(distribute the 6)
8a - 4 = 25 + 6a - 48
(combine like terms 25 - 48)
8a - 4 = 6a - 23
( subtract 6a from both sides)
2a - 4 = -23
(add 4 to both sides)
2a = -19
(divide both sides by 2)
a = - 9.5
////CHECK/////
8 (-9.5) - 4 = 25 + 6 ( -9.5 -8)
(plug each side into a calculator)
-80 = -80
FINAL ANSWER:
a = -9.5
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Its a because you will add 1.25 and 0.75 because it says each and of course 18 would be what it equals
Answer:
a. n=4148
b. n=3909
c. The sample size is smaller if a known proportion from prior study is used. The difference in sample sizes is 239
Step-by-step explanation:
a. For sample where no preliminary estimate is given, the minimum sample size is calculated using the formula:

Where:
Margin of error
is the assumed proportion
#Let p=0.5, substitute in the formula to solve for n:

Hence, the minimum sample size is 4148
b. If given a preliminary estimate p=0.38, we use the same formula but substitute p with the given value:

Hence, the minimum sample size is 3909
c. Comparing the sample sizes from a and b:

Hence, the actual sample size is smaller for a known proportion from prior a prior study.
