How the heck do you solve these type of problems?

Do the math the same way you would if all the other variables were numbers. For linear equations such as these, you can
• subtract one side of the equation, so you get an equation equal to zero.
• factor out the variable of interest
• subtract all terms that don't have the variable as a factor
• divide by the coefficient of the variable.

19. 2xy - x - 7 = 0 . . . . subract the right side
  x(2y-1) -7 = 0 . . . . factor out x
  x(2y -1) = 7 . . . . subtract the term(s) not containing x. Subtract -7 here.
  x = 7/(2y -1) . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

20. Usually for these, you would eliminate fractions first. (You don't have to, but it does simplify things a bit.)
  2d + f = 24 . . . . multiply the equation by 4 to eliminate fractions
  f = 24 - 2d . . . . subtract the term not involving f

21. We can go back to the above sequence of steps here, if you like.
  3(2j -k) -108 = 0 . . . . subtract the right side
  6j -3k -108 = 0 . . . . separate the j terms from the others (eliminate parentheses using the distributive property)
  6j = 108 + 3k . . . . add the opposite of the non-j terms
  j = 108/6 + 3k/6 . . . . divide by the coefficient of j
  j = 18 + k/2 . . . . simplify

22. "solve for" variable not specified.
  t = (3.5s -42)/4
  s = (4t+42)/3.5
In both cases, the 3.5 can be replaced by 7/2 and the fraction simplified.
  t = (7/8)(s-12)
  s = 12 + (8/7)t

In a two-step equation, you should take care of multiplication and division before addition and subtraction.

I’m not sure if this is a question, but yes, i like to use “PEMDAS”.
Parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract.
You always go in order from left to right!

f the dean wanted to estimate the proportion of all students receiving financial aid to within 3% with 99% reliability, how many
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

n=1849

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.03 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

Assuming that the proportion is estimated \hat p =0.5. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.03}{2.58})^2}=1849  

And rounded up we have that n=1849
