Answer:

With a .95 probability, the sample size that needs to be taken if the desired margin of error is .04 or less is of at least 216.

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:

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

For this problem, we have that:

p = 0.1

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

With a .95 probability, the sample size that needs to be taken if the desired margin of error is .04 or less is

We need a sample size of at least n, in which n is found M = 0.04.

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

0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.1*0.9}{n}}

0.04\sqrt{n} = 0.588

\sqrt{n} = \frac{0.588}{0.04}

\sqrt{n} = 14.7

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (14.7)^{2}

n = 216

With a .95 probability, the sample size that needs to be taken if the desired margin of error is .04 or less is of at least 216.

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

20 x 5 = 100

45/5 = 9

9 to 20 = 11

45 to 100 = 55

<u>55</u> = 5<--- Linear

11

(since the total answer is linear, the answer is right)

Yves bought 420 tropical fish for a museum display. He bought 6 times as many parrotfish as angelfish. How many of each type of
ohaa [14]
The answer would be d , because you have to add how many of each fish to equal up to the sum of 420 . which is x y . so the first equation is x + y = 420 . then it says he bought 6 times as many parrotfish as he did angelfish so you would have to multiply x which represents angelfish by 6 . to get the second equation of y = 6x .

Use the slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1

3-(-7)/1-(-1) = 10/2 = 5

To find the y-intercept:

y=5x+b

3=5(1)+b

3 = 5+b

-5  -5

-2=b
