Because they are squares of integer numbers.

$1=1^2\\
4=2^2\\
9=3^2\\
16=4^2\\
25=5^2$

Perfect squares can be divided and multiplied by the same number to get the same number. For example 25/5=5. 5*5=25.
4/2=2, 2*2=4
1/1=1, 1*1=1
9/3=3, 3*3=9
16/4=4, 4*4=16.
Hence the perfect squares.

A researcher wishes to be 95% confident that her estimate of the true proportion of individuals who travel overseas is within 3%

andre [41]

Answer: a) 683 b) 1067

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

$p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

a) Given : Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}}=\pm1.96$

Margin of error : $E=0.03$

Formula to calculate the sample size needed for interval estimate of population proportion :-

$n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.2(0.8)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2=682.951111111\approx683$

Hence, the required sample size would be 683 .

b) If no estimate of the sample proportion is available then the formula to calculate sample size will be :-

$n=0.25(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.25(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2=1067.11111111\approx1067$

Hence, the required sample size would be 1067 .

Grace [21]

Given that $x+y=1$ , we have $y=1-x$ , so that

$f(x,y)=x^2+y^2\iff g(x)=x^2+(1-x)^2$

Take the derivative and find the critical points of $g$ :

$g'(x)=2x-2(1-x)=4x-2=0\implies x=\dfrac12$

Take the second derivative and evaluate it at the critical point:

$g''(x)=4>0$

Since $g''$ is positive for all $x$ , the critical point is a minimum.

At the critical point, we get the minimum value $g\left(\frac12\right)=f\left(\frac12,\frac12\right)=\frac12$ .
