A recent poll of 80 randomly selected Californians showed that 38% ( = 0.38) believe they are doing all that they can to conserv

e water.
The state government would like to know, within a 99% confidence level, the margin of error for this poll. (99% confidence level z*-score of 2.58)

Remember, the margin of error, E, can be determined using the formula E = z*.

To the nearest whole percent, the margin of error for the poll is %.

The margin of error given the proportion can be found using the formula

z* \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

Where
z* is the z-score of the confidence level
p is the sample proportion
n is the sample size

We have
z*=2.58
p=0.38
n=80

Plugging these values into the formula, we have:
2.58 \sqrt{ \frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{80} } =0.14

The result 0.14 as percentage is 14%

Answer:  14%


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Margin error M.E.=z\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Given: Sample size n=80

sample proportion p=0.38

Confidence level z=2.58

Substitute the values in the formula, we get

Margin error M.E.=2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{80}}

\Rightarrow\ M.E.=2.58\sqrt{\frac{0.62\ \cdot\ 0.38}{80}}\\\Rightarrow\ M.E.=2.58 \sqrt{0.002945}\\\Rightarrow\ M.E.=2.58\times0.054\\\Rightarrow\ M.E.=0.13932\\\Rightarrow\ M.E.=13.932\%\approx14\%


Thus, to the nearest whole percent, the margin of error for the poll is 14%

What is one possible solution for the triangle below?
elixir [45]
Answer:

segment YZ ≈ 19.4 in
angle X ≈ 85.3°
angle Z ≈ 26.7°

Explanation:

1) Given two side lenghts and one angle you can use sine law:

\frac{sinA}{a} = \frac{sinB}{b} = \frac{sinC}{c}

2) Using the sides with length 43 in and 40in, and the corresponding opposite angles, Z and 68°, that leads to:

\frac{sinZ}{43} = \frac{sin68}{40}

From which you can clear sinZ and get:

sinZ = 43 × sin(68) / 40 = 0.9967

⇒ Z = arcsine(0.9967) ≈ 85.36°


3) The third angle can be determined using 85.36° + 68° + X = 180°

⇒ X = 180° - 85.36° - 68° = 26.64°.

4) Finally, you can apply the law of sine to obtain the last missing length:

\frac{x}{sin(26.64)} = \frac{40}{sin(68)}

From which: x = 40 × sin(26.64°) /  sin(68°) = 19.34 in

The answer, then is:
segment YZ ≈ 19.4 in
angle X ≈ 85.3°
angle Z ≈ 26.7°
