'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication

Translating 8 is 50% of what number into an equation, we get:

8 = 50% * x

50%, or 50 percent, is nothing but 50 over 100 or 50/100, which is the same as 1/2.

8 = 1/2 * x

Multiply 2 on both sides.

8 * 2 = 1/2 * 2 * x

16 = x

x = 16

8 is 50% of 16.

Increasing the sample size while keeping the same confidence level has what effect on the margin of error? A. Increases the marg
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

C. Decreases the margin of error and hence increases the precision

Step-by-step explanation:

If we select a sample by Simple Random Sampling in a population of “infinite” size (a population so large that we do not know its size exactly), then the margin of error is given by

\bf E=\frac{ZS}{\sqrt{n}}

where  

<em>Z = The Z-score corresponding to the confidence level </em>

<em>S = The estimated standard deviation of the population </em>

<em>n = the size of the sample. </em>

As we can see, since n is in the denominator of the fraction and the numerator is kept constant, the larger the sample size the smaller the margin of error, so the correct choice is:

C. Decreases the margin of error and hence increases the precision
