Answer:

Option a is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a random sample of 250 men yielded 175 who said they'd ridden a motorcycle at some time in their lives, while a similar sample of 215 women yielded only 43 that had done so.

For proportions since binomial and sample size large we can use  z critical values.

Sample             I            II

N                    250        215     465

X                     175           43    218

p                       0.7          0.2    0.4688

p difference = 0.5

Std error of difference = \sqrt{p(1-p)(\frac{1}{n_1}+  \frac{1}{n_2} }\\=\sqrt{0.4688*0.5312)(\frac{1}{250} + \frac{1}{215} )}\\=0.0409

Margin of error for 99% = 2.58*std error =  0.105

Confidence interval 99% = (0.5±0.105)            

Option a is right.

Answer:

We need a sample size of least 119

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.

Sample size needed

At least n, in which n is found when M = 0.09

We don't know the proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5, which is when we would need the largest sample size.

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

0.09 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.09\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.09}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.09})^{2}

n = 118.6

Rounding up

We need a sample size of least 119

Circle O has a circumference of approximately 28.3 cm. What is the approximate length of the radius, r?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

4.5 cm.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that circle O has a circumference of approximately 28.3 cm.

We will use circumference formula to solve for the radius of our given circle.

\text{Circumference of a circle}=2\pi r

Upon substituting the measure of circumference in above formula we will get,

28.3=2\pi r  

r=\frac{28.3}{2\pi}

r=4.504084889500638\approx 4.5

Therefore, the radius of circle O is 4.5 cm.
