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.

Can you solve this problem please​
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

k = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points are collinear then the slopes between consecutive points are equal.

Using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 1)

m = \frac{-1-1}{1-5} = \frac{-2}{-4} = \frac{1}{2}

Repeat with another 2 points and equate to \frac{1}{2}

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (k, 4)

m = \frac{4+1}{k-1} , then

\frac{5}{k-1} = \frac{1}{2} ( cross- multiply )

k - 1 = 10 ( add 1 to both sides )

k = 11

Which expression represents this word phrase? eight less than the quotient of x and 3 x−83 8−x3 x3−8 3x−8
lozanna [386]
Quotient is basically the answer produced when dividing two numbers.

For example, the quotient of 6 and 3 is 2 because when I divide 6 by 3, I get 2.

Eight less than the quotient of x and 3 = \frac{x}{3} - 8
