Since we are not given any information about the proportion, we will assume the sample proportion to be 0.50
so,
p = 0.50
The Error is 10% percentage point. This means that on either side of the population proportion the error is 5% so E = 0.05
z = 1.645 (Z value for 90% confidence interval)
The margin of error for population proportion is calculated as:
This means 271 students should be included in the sample
0.078, 0.5, 0.507, 0.75.
Hope it helps ; )
Remark
The line you want is parallel to y = - 2x + 3
That means it has the same slope as the given line. The given line has a slope of -2
y = -2x + b is what you have so far. Now you have to use the point to get b
y = - 100
x = - 100
Solve for b
-100 = -2(-100) + b
-100 = 200 + b Notice the sign change. Two minus's make a plus. Subtract 200 from both sides.
- 100 - 200 = b
- 300 = b
Answer
y = - 2x - 100
The other person is correct the answer is C
