Answer:

We need a sample size of at least 657.

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 given by:

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

45 percent of its claims have errors.

So \pi = 0.45

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

What sample size is needed if they wish to be within 5 percent of the actual

This is a sample size of at least n, in which n is found when M = 0.05.

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

0.05 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.45*0.55}{n}}

0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.28

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.28}{0.05}

\sqrt{n} = 25.62

\sqrt{n}^{2} = (25.62)^{2}

n = 656.4

We need a sample size of at least 657.

Miss Kirkland Works 40 hours on Mondays in 8 hours on Tuesdays in the school library during one week in May she worked 1/4 of he
Rashid [163]

Answer:

She worked 12 hours for the week

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Hours worked :

Mondays = 40 hours

Tuesdays = 8 hours

If 1/4 of regular hours was worked in a certain week, the number of hours worked that week can be calculated thus ;

1/4 (Monday hours + Tuesday hours)

1/4(40 + 8)

(1/4 * 40) + (1/4 * 8)

10 + 2

= 12 hours

Mr. Ramsey just finished bathing his kids, and now he is draining the tub. The tub contains 32 gallons of water and is draining
KIM [24]
The answer would be 11 gallons.

The tub starts with 32 gallons. Every minute it loses 3 gallons.

So after 1 minute it has lost 3 gallons. For example:
32-3= 29 Meaning that after 1 minute the tub has 29 gallons left.

Now you have to remember that the tub is draining for 7 minutes. So it is losing 3 gallons 7 times, because it loses 3 gallons each minute and there are 7 minutes.

We can use multiplication to find how many gallons the tub loses after 7 minutes. This sign “X” basically means “groups of”. We have 7 groups of 3, or
7 X 3

This is the same as saying we have 3, 7 times. Written like this:

3+3 +3 +3 +3 +3 +3 = 21

So after 7 minutes the tub has lost 21 gallons.

Now we take the original number of gallons and take away what was lost:

32-21=11

So there are 11 gallons left after 7 minutes.

Please let me know if you need any further explanation. Hope this helped.
