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

e the percentage of computers that use a new operating system. How many computers must be surveyed in order to be 95​% confident that his estimate is in error by no more than three percentage points question mark?
​a. Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems. n=_______.(Round up to the nearest​ integer.)
b. Assume that a recent survey suggests that about 96​% of computers use a new operating system. n=_______.(Round up to the nearest​ integer.)

Answer:  a. n= 1068

b. n= 164

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sample size :

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z^{*}}{E})^2

, where p=prior population proportion , z* = critical z-value and E = Margin of error.

Here , let p=proportion of computers that use a new operating system.

Given : Confidence level = 95%

i.e. z* = 1.96  [by z-table]

Margin of error : E = 3% =0.03

a. If p is unknown , then we assume p=0.5

Then, n=(0.5)(1-0.5)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2=1067.11111\approx1068

i.e. n= 1068

b. p=0.96

Then, n=(0.96)(1-0.96)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2=163.908266667\approx164

i.e. n= 164.

Answer:

3,160,080

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The first place can be taken by any one of the 22 students.
  • The second place can be taken by any one of the remaining 21 students.
  • The third place can be taken by any one of the remaining 20 students.
  • The fourth place can be taken by any one of the remaining 19 students.
  • The fifth place can be taken by any one of the remaining 18 students.

<em>This basically means multiplying 22, 21, 20, 19, and 18. Or, the number of permutation of 22 things taken 5 at a time.</em>

The answer is 22*21*20*19*18 = 3,160,080

<em>Using formula  nPr=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}=\frac{22!}{(22-5)!}=\frac{22!}{17!}=(22*21*20*19*18)=3,160,080</em>
