Answer: 471

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  The population standard deviation is estimated to be $500.

i.e .  \sigma=\$500

If a 97 percent confidence interval is used and an interval of $100 is desired.

i.e. Margin of error = half of interval

i.e. E= \dfrac{\$100}{2}=\$50

Significance level : 1-0.97=0.03

Critical value for 97% confidence interval : {z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.03/2}=2.17

Formula for sample size :

n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\ \sigma}{E})^2\\\\=(\dfrac{2.17\times500}{50})^2\\\\=470.89\approx471

Hence, at-least 471 cardholders should be sampled.

Of the 8 students in the chess club, three will represent the club at an upcoming competition. How many different 3-person teams

I think that this is a combination problem. From the given, the 8 students are taken 3 at a time. This can be solved through using the formula of combination which is C(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!r!. In this case, n is 8 while r is 3. Hence, upon substitution of the values, we have

C(8,3) = 8!/(8-3)!3!
C(8,3) = 56

There are 56 3-person teams that can be formed from the 8 students.

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.x^2-14x+46=0First choose the appropriate form and fill in the blanks with
Kaylis [27]

x² - 14x + 46 = 0

subtract 46 from both-side

x² - 14x = -46

Add the square of the half of the co-efficient of x

x² - 14x + (-7)² = -46 + 7²

(x-7)² = -46 + 49

(x-7)² =3

Take the square root of both-side

x-7 = ±√3

x-7= ±1.732

Add 7 to both-side of the equation.

x= 7 ± 1.732

Eithe x= 7 + 1.732 or x= 7 - 1.732

x=8.732 or x=5.268

Therefore x = 8.732 , 5.268
