What is three and fourteen hundredths as a decimal number.

From the top of a tree a bird looks down on a field mouse at an angle of depression of 50 degrees if the field mouse is 40 M fro

Zepler [3.9K]

The tangent function gives the ratio of vertical to horizontal distance in this case.
.. vertical distance = (horizontal distance)*tan(angle of depression)
.. = (40 m)*tan(50°)
.. vertical distance ≈ 47.7 m

2. A marketing firm is trying to estimate the proportion of potential car buyers that would consider

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

a. The number of people that should be in the pilot study are 600 people

b. The point estimate is 0.62 $\overline 6$

c. At 95% confidence level the true population proportion of potential car buyers of hybrid vehicle is between the confidence interval (0.588, 0.6654)

d. Two ways to reduce the margin of error are;

1) Reduce the confidence interval

2) Use a larger sample size

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The given parameters for the estimation of sample size is given as follows;

The margin of error for the confidence interval, E = 4% = 0.04

The confidence level = 95%

The sample size formula for a proportion as obtained from an online source is given as follows;

$n = \dfrac{Z^2 \times P \times (1 - P)}{E^2}$

Where, P is the estimated proportions of the desired statistic, therefore, we have for a new study, P = 0.5;

Z = The level of confidence at 95% = 1.96

n + The sample size

Therefore, we have;

$n = \dfrac{1.96^2 \times 0.5 \times (1 - 0.5)}{0.04^2} = 600.25$

Therefore, the number of people that should be in the pilot study in order to meet this goal at 95% confidence level is n = 600 people

b. The point estimate for the population proportion is the sample proportion given as follows;

$\hat p = \dfrac{x}{n}$

Where;

x = The number of the statistic in the sample

n = The sample size

From the question, we have;

The number of potential car buyers, n = 600

The number of respondent in the sample that indicated that they would consider purchasing a hybrid, x = 376

Therefore, the point estimate, for the proportion of potential car buyers that would consider buying a hybrid vehicle, $\hat p$ = 376/600 = 0.62 $\overline 6$

c. The confidence interval for a proportion is given as follows

$CI=\hat{p}\pm z\times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$

Therefore, we get;

$CI=0.62 \overline 6\pm 1.96\times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{0.62 \overline 6}\cdot (1-\hat{0.62 \overline 6})}{600}}$

C.I. ≈ 0.6267 ± 0.0387

The 95% confidence interval for the true population proportion of potential buyers of hybrid vehicle, C.I. = (0.588, 0.6654)

d. The margin of error is given by the following formula;

$MOE_\gamma = z_\gamma \times \sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma ^2}{n} }$

Where;

$MOE_\gamma$ = Margin of error at a given level of confidence

$z_\gamma$ = z-score

σ = The standard deviation

n = The sample size

Therefore, the margin error can be reduced by the following two ways;

1) Reducing the confidence interval and therefore, the z-score

2) Increasing the sample size

When is estimation is an effective way to determine an answer

luda_lava [24]

Estimation is never an effective way to get the answer. But it's always an effective way to determine whether the answer you calculated is reasonable, or from orbit by way of left field.

The volume of a square prism is 144x^3 +216x^2 +81x

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Equation for the perimeter of prism's square face: 16x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of Square prism = Length * Width * Height

= 144 x^3 + 216 x^2 +81 x

taking 9x common = 9x( 16 x^2 + 24 x + 9)

= 9x ( (4x)^2 + 2(4x)(3) + (3)^2 )

= 9x ( 4x+3)^2

so the length is 9x, width is 4x+3 and height is 4x+3

Now, Perimeter of prism's square face = 2* Width + 2 * Height

= 2* (4x+3) + 2* (4x+3)

= 8x +6 + 8x + 6

= 16x +12
