Answer:

Margin of error at 90% is 0.024

Margin of error at 99% is 0.037

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = 1076

A poll found that 64% of a random sample of 1076 adults said they believe in ghosts.

So, No. of adults said they believe ghosts = $\frac{64}{100} \times 1076=688.64\sim 688$

So, x = 688

n = 1076

$\widehat{p} = \frac{x}{n}$

$\widehat{p} = \frac{688}{1076}$

$\widehat{p} = 0.639$

$ME=z \times \sqrt{\frac{\widehat{p}(1-\widehat{p})}{n}}$

z at 90% confidence is 1.64

$ME=1.64 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.639(1-0.639)}{1076}}$

$ME=0.024$

So, margin of error at 90% is 0.024

Find the margin of error needed to be 99% confident.

z at 99% confidence is 2.58

$ME=2.58 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.639(1-0.639)}{1076}}$

$ME=0.024$

So, margin of error at 99% is 0.037

G find the area of the surface over the given region. use a computer algebra system to verify your results. the sphere r(u,v) =

Svetach [21]

Presumably you should be doing this using calculus methods, namely computing the surface integral along $\mathbf r(u,v)$ .

But since $\mathbf r(u,v)$ describes a sphere, we can simply recall that the surface area of a sphere of radius $a$ is $4\pi a^2$ .

In calculus terms, we would first find an expression for the surface element, which is given by

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\iint_S\left\|\frac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\frac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

$\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}=a\cos u\cos v\,\mathbf i+a\cos u\sin v\,\mathbf j-a\sin u\,\mathbf k$
$\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}=-a\sin u\sin v\,\mathbf i+a\sin u\cos v\,\mathbf j$
$\implies\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}=a^2\sin^2u\cos v\,\mathbf i+a^2\sin^2u\sin v\,\mathbf j+a^2\sin u\cos u\,\mathbf k$
$\implies\left\|\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\|=a^2\sin u$

So the area of the surface is

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\int_{u=0}^{u=\pi}\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}a^2\sin u\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=2\pi a^2\int_{u=0}^{u=\pi}\sin u$
$=-2\pi a^2(\cos\pi-\cos 0)$
$=-2\pi a^2(-1-1)$
$=4\pi a^2$

as expected.

Find A, B, and C Help ASAP! {10 points up}

Rama09 [41]

so we have a 60-30-90 triangle (top one)

so since we know 6 is x (the side on the right angle and 60 degrees)

b is 2x or 2(6) = 12

a is x√3 = 6√3

for C I need to use a 45 45 90 triangle

Since b is 12 and its x√2 to find x we should write it as

x√2 = 12

√2 √2 divide by √2

x = 12/√2 but we must rationalize the denominator

12/√2 times √2/√2 = 12√2/2 and that's c
