Answer:

151

Step-by-step explanation:

tan 40° = x/180

tan 40°*180 = x

0.8391*180 = 151

height = 151m

Consider the numbers √27 and √39.

kobusy [5.1K]

√27 = 5.2 (to 1 dp)
√39 = 6.2 (to 1 dp)
A. √39 is greater.
B. 6 is the only whole number between the two.
Hope this helped :)

A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimat

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a) A sample of 601 is needed.

b) A sample of 93 is needed.

c) A. Yes, using the additional survey information from part (b) dramatically reduces the sample size.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of $\frac{1+\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

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

95% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.95$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$ .

For this problem, we consider that we want it to be within 4%.

Item a:

The sample size is <u>n for which M = 0.04.</u>

There is no estimate, hence $\pi = 0.5$

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

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}\right)^2$

$n = 600.25$

Rounding up:

A sample of 601 is needed.

Item b:

The estimate is $\pi = 0.96$ , hence:

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

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.96(0.04)}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}\right)^2$

$n = 92.2$

Rounding up:

A sample of 93 is needed.

Item c:

The closer the estimate is to $\pi = 0.5$ , the larger the sample size needed, hence, the correct option is A.
