 <span>First find how many grams are in 15.87kg and how many meters are in 30.48cm 

15.87kg x 1000g/kg = 15, 870g 
30.49cm x 1m/100cm = 0.3049m 



Then, set up a proportion. 

0.3049m/15, 870g = 1m/x g 

Cross multiply to get.. 
0.3049x = 15, 870 

Divide for x and there you are.</span>Source(s):Myself.1004 <span>· 8 years ago

"A cable TV company wants to estimate the percentage of cable boxes in use during an evening hour. An approximation is 20 percen
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The company should take a sample of 148 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The cable TV company whats to know what sample size to take to estimate the proportion/percentage of cable boxes in use during an evening hour.

They estimated a "pilot" proportion of p'=0.20

And using a 90% confidence level the CI should have a margin of error of 2% (0.02).

The CI for the population proportion is made using an approximation of the standard normal distribution, and its structure is "point estimation" ± "margin of error"

[p' ± Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }]

Where

p' is the sample proportion/point estimator of the population proportion

Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} } is the margin of error (d) of the confidence interval.

Z_{1-\alpha /2} = Z_{1-0.05} = Z_{0.95}= 1.648

So

d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

d *Z_{1-\alpha /2}= \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2= \frac{p'(1-p')}{n}

n*(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2= p'(1-p')

n= \frac{p'(1-p')}{(d*Z_{1-\alpha /2})^2}

n= \frac{0.2(1-0.2)}{(0.02*1.648)^2}

n= 147.28 ≅ 148 boxes.

I hope it helps!

gYou have a six-sided die that you roll once and ob- serve the number of dots facing upwards. What is the sample space
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Hey!

The sample space would be sides 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, or 1-6.

A sample space is a range of possible values.

Hope this helps! :D

A circle centered at the origin has a radius of 10 units. The terminal side of an angle, Theta, intercepts the circle in Quadran
Tanzania [10]
Since the circle is centered at the origin, we can use the equations
x² + y² = r²
x = r cos θ
y = r sin θ

We know y = 8 and r = 10. Solving for x
x² + 8² = 10²
x = 6

From this equation:
x = r cos θ
6 = 10 cos θ
cos θ = 6/10 = 0.6
