Let the abbreviation PSLT stand for the percent of the gross family income that goes into paying state and local taxes. Suppose

one wants to estimate the mean PSLT for the population of all families in New York City with gross incomes in the range $35.000 to $40.000. If sigma equals 2.0, how many such families should be surveyed if one wants to be 90% sure of being able to estimate the true mean PSLT within .5?

Answer:

Number of families that should be surveyed if one wants to be 90% sure of being able to estimate the true mean PSLT within 0.5 is at least 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that one wants to estimate the mean PSLT for the population of all families in New York City with gross incomes in the range $35.000 to $40.000.

If sigma equals 2.0, we have to find that how many families should be surveyed if one wants to be 90% sure of being able to estimate the true mean PSLT within 0.5.

Here, we will use the concept of Margin of error as the statement "true mean PSLT within 0.5" represents the margin of error we want.

<u></u>

<u>SO, Margin of error formula is given by;</u>

       Margin of error =  Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_ ) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

where, \alpha = significance level = 10%

            \sigma = standard deviation = 2.0

            n = number of families

Now, in the z table the critical value of x at 5% ( \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.05 ) level of significance is 1.645.

SO,        Margin of error =  Z_(_\frac{\alpha}{2}_ ) \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

                          0.5   =  1.645 \times \frac{2}{\sqrt{n} }

                         \sqrt{n} =\frac{2\times 1.645 }{0.5}

                         \sqrt{n} =6.58

                           n  =  6.58^{2}

                               = 43.3 ≈ 43

Therefore, number of families that should be surveyed if one wants to be 90% sure of being able to estimate the true mean PSLT within 0.5 is at least 43.

Cot(90° − x) = 1 The value of x that satisfies this equation is Blank °.
Reil [10]

Answer:

x=90\degree

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trigonometric equation is

\cos(90\degree -x)=1

We take the inverse cosine of both sides to obtain;

(90\degree -x)=\cos^{-1}(1)

(90\degree -x)=0

Group similar terms t obtain;

-x=0-90\degree

x=90\degree

Triangle RSQ:

30:25:15

Final simplified answer: 2.8:2.8:2.8

Scale factor of 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Each triangle's sides are a part of the ratio, then you divide each side by the corresponding one (84 by 30, and 70 by 25) to get your scale factor.
