Finding the sample size for estimating a population proportion.

The formula is:

n = (z/m)^2 p~(1−p~)

where:
Z is the z value of the confidence level where 95% is equal to 1.96

M is the margin of error where 0.05

And p~ is the estimated value of the proportion where it is 0.50

Solution:

n = (1.96/0.05)^2 (0.5) (1-0.5)

= 1.536.64 (0.5) (0.5)

= 768.32 (0.5)

= 384.16

This is the minimum sample size, therefore we should round it up to 385. The answer is letter c.

C. The 100th term of 1, 3, 9, ... is
True [87]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

We really should have 1 more term in the sequence. There could be a lot of things that determine what the sequence is. I'm going to say that each term is multiplied by 3

Givens

a1 = 1

r = 3

Formula

tn = a1 * 3^(n-1)

t100 = 1 * 3^(100 - 1)

t_100 = 3^99

t_100 = 1.72 * 10^47

This really is a scientific calculator problem. If you don't own such a thing, but you have windows 10 on your computer, go to the calculator. Go to the scientific calculator and put in these key strokes.

x^y

99

=

This is what you get

1.7179250691067044367882037658854e+47

Naturally, I rounded it a bit.

If the sales tax on 150 is 7.50, what is the percent of sales tax?​
Pachacha [2.7K]
Let “T” represent the tax rate...
$150 x T = $7.50
Divide both sides by 150 to solve for T...
T = 7.5/150 = .05
So the tax is 5% (.05)
