A researcher wants to estimate the impact prenatal care during pregnancy can have on anemia rates in pregnant mothers by conduct

ing a retrospective case-control study on new moms. If the prevalence of anemia is approximately 39.7%, how many individuals should the researcher recruit to participate in the study if the researcher wants to be 95% confident that the margin of error is no more than 3.0%?

Answer:

At least 1022 new moms should be recruited.

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}}

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.

How many individuals should the researcher recruit to participate in the study if the researcher wants to be 95% confident that the margin of error is no more than 3.0%?

At least n new moms should be recruited.

n is found when M = 0.03, \pi = 0.397

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

0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.397*0.603}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.397*0.603}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.397*0.603}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.397*0.603}}{0.03})^{2}

n = 1021.8

Rounding up

At least 1022 new moms should be recruited.

Let f(x)=\sec^{-1}x. Then \sec f(x)=x, and differentiating both sides with respect to x gives

(\sec f(x))'=\sec f(x)\tan f(x)\,f'(x)=1
f'(x)=\dfrac1{\sec f(x)\tan f(x)}

Now, when x=\sqrt2, you get

(\sec^{-1})'(\sqrt2)=f'(\sqrt2)=\dfrac1{\sec\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)\tan\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)}

You have \sec^{-1}\sqrt2=\dfrac\pi4, so \sec\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)=\sqrt2 and \tan\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)=1. So (\sec^{-1})'(\sqrt2)=\dfrac1{\sqrt2\times1}=\dfrac1{\sqrt2}

The set of ordered pairs represents a
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The rule that represents the function is y=x^2+1 therefore the function is f(x)=x^2+1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 5 ordered pairs in the plane xy. This means that <em>every pair has the form (x, y).</em>

Then, we have 5 values of x, which will give us 5 values of y, using the rule that represents the function.

<u>The easy evaluation is that when x=0, the value of y is y=1,</u> and then we can evaluate the rule for x=-1, and x=1, <em>the value of y is the same, y=2</em>. We can see here that we have a parabolic function, that is not centered in the origin of coordinates because when x=0, y=1.

So <u>we propose the rule </u>y=x^2+1<u> which is correct for the first 3 values of x.</u>

Now, <em>we evaluate the proposed rule when x=2, and when x=3</em>. This evaluations can be written as

f(2)=2^2+1=5

f(3)=3^2+1=10

Therefore, the rule is correct, and the function is

f(x)=x^2+1
