One hundred five of the 195 members surveyed at a local gym say they worked out more often when they were in their twenties than

they did when they were teenagers. Calculate the margin of error (ME), rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent. Is it reasonable that the federal health department claims the percentage for the entire country is 48%? Justify your answer.
Hint: ME equals plus or minus two times square root of start fraction p hat left parenthesis one minus p hat right parenthesis over N end fraction end square root, where p hat is the yes proportion in the sample and N is the sample size


No, it is not reasonable because the ME is 2.9% and the population proportion of 48% falls outside the sample interval of 53.8% ± 3.6%

Yes, it is reasonable because the ME is 7.1% and the population proportion of 54% falls within the sample interval of 48.0% ± 7.1%

Yes, it is reasonable because the ME is 7.1% and the population proportion of 48% falls within the sample interval of 53.8% ± 7.1%

No, it is not reasonable because the ME is 6.7% and the population proportion of 48% falls outside the sample interval of 53.8% ± 6.7%

Yes, it is reasonable, because the ME is 7.1% and 48% falls within the range of 53.8% to 7.1%.

Calculating the ME:

ME=\pm 2\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{N}}=\pm 2\sqrt{\frac{0.54(0.46)}{195}}
=\pm 2\sqrt{\frac{0.2484}{195}}=0.071=7.1

The sample proportion was 53.8%.  This gives us 
53.8% +/- 7.1%

jim is building a model of a square pyramid for a class project the side length of the square base is 12 inches and the slant he
yulyashka [42]
Surface area of a square pyramid is the area of the base + 4 times the area of one of the slanted sides.
Area of base = side length * side length
Area of side = (1/2) * side length * slant height
Don't forget that you have to multiply the area of the side by 4!

Step 1: 12 x 12 = 144
Step 2: 12 x 20 = 240 divided by 2 = 120
Step 3: 144 + 120 x 4

Answer:

The three numbers are 341, 342, and 343

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 1026. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 1026

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 1026

3X + 3 = 1026

3X + 3 - 3 = 1026 - 3

3X = 1023

3X/3 = 1023/3

X = 341

Which means that the first number is 341, the second number is 341 + 1 and the third number is 341 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 1026 are 341, 342, and 343.

341 + 342 + 343 = 1026

We know our answer is correct because 341 + 342 + 343 equals 1026 as displayed above.
