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.

Find the highest common factor of 28 and 210 <br><br> Step by step <br><br> Please help
Yuri [45]

Hello there!

To find the GCF, we must list all the factors and then just spot the greatest factor.

28: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28.

210 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, 15, 21, 30, 35, 42, 70.

So 14 is the GCF. Hope this helps you!
