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%

Find the value of x when the area of a triangle is 22 in2 and has a base of 3x-1 and height of x.
Virty [35]
The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh = A
when we plug in the numbers, we get (1/2)(3x-1)x = A
using the distributive property we get (1.5x - .5)x = A
Then its 1.5x^2 - .5x = A
then if we factor out 0.5x we get 0.5x(3x-1) = A
then with the zero product property, 0.5x can equal 0 and x would need to equal 0.
if 3x-1 = 0 , then 3x = 1 then x = 1/3. so our answer would be 1/3 I'm pretty sure because a length cannot be 0
