Answer:

8 chickens, 14 sheep needs to be simplified

Step-by-step explanation:

So the chicken has 1 beak and 2 legs and a sheep has 4 legs.

so since there are 8 chickens we know we have 8 beaks

if we mulitply 2 times 8 we get 16

if we mulitply 4 times 14 we get 56

the number of legs is 16+56=72

so we have 8 beaks and 72 legs or 8:72

Divide both sides by 8 to simpilfy u get 1:9 as the answer

Answer:

$n = (\frac{z\sqrt{0.16*0.84}}{0.03})^2$ , in which z is related to the confidence level.

b) A sample size of 991 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In 16% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent, the father is the stay-at-home parent

This means that $\pi = 0.16$

a. What sample size is needed if the research firm's goal is to estimate the current proportion of homes with a stay-at-home parent in which the father is the stay-at-home parent with a margin of error of 0.03 (round up to the next whole number).

This is n for which $M = 0.03$ . So
