Answer:

n=170

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Notation and definitions

n random sample taken (variable of interest)

\hat p=0.65 estimated proportion.

p true population

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.64

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.06 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.65(1-0.65)}{(\frac{0.06}{1.64})^2}=169.968  

And rounded up we have that n=170

???? please help lol
kow [346]

Answer:

  1. 150π ft²
  2. 10π ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the sector :

Area (sector) = \pi r^{2} \times \frac{\theta}{360^{o}}

Finding the area given r = 30 ft. and θ = 60° :

⇒ Area = π × (30)² × 60/360

⇒ Area = π × 900/6

⇒ Area = 150π ft²

===========================================================

Length of the arc :

Length (arc) =2 \pi r} \times \frac{\theta}{360^{o}}

Finding the arc length given r = 30 ft. and θ = 60° :

⇒ Arc Length = 2 × π × 30 × 60/360

⇒ Arc Length = 60/6 × π

⇒ Arc Length = 10π ft.

Can someone help me its urgent:( ??
wariber [46]

Answer:

see the procedure

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify

Let

x ---> the cost of the Xbox one at Walmart

Strategy

we know that

The cost of the Xbox one at Walmart multiplied by 2 plus $50 must be equal to $450

Set up

The algebraic expression that represent this situation is

450=2x+50

Solve

solve for x

450=2x+50

2x=450-50\\2x=400\\x=\$200

Check

substitute the value of x in the equation

450=2(200)+50

450=450 ----> is ok

The graph of a system of equations shows the solution to be at (-6, 2). Which two of the following equations could
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows the solution (-6,2)

i.e at x= -6 y=2

Analysis of each of the answers, since we can't write the equation of a straight line with only that information i.e the single point

Then,

Option 1

1. 2x - 3y = -6

x= -6 y=2

Then let insert x=-6 and y =2

2(-6)-3(2)

-12-6

-18.

Since -18 ≠ -6, then this is not the equation of the line and doesn't make up the system

Option 2

2. 4x - y = 26

Inserting x=-6 and y=2

4(-6)-(2)

-24-2

-26

Since -26 ≠ 26, then this is not the equation of the line and doesn't make up the system

Option 3

3. 3x + 2y = -14

Inserting x=-6 and y=2

3(-6)+2(2)

-18+4

-14

Since -14 ≠ -14 then this is the equation of the line and it make up the system.

Option 4

x-y = -2

Inserting x=-6 and y=2

(-6)-(2)

-6-2

-8

Since -8≠ -2, then this is not the equation of the line and doesn't make up the system

Option 5

5. x+y=-4

Inserting x=-6 and y=2

(-6)+(2)

-6+2

-4

Since -4 ≠ -4, then this is the equation of the line and it makes up the system.

Then, there are two option that make up the system

3. 3x + 2y = -14

And

5. x+y=-4
