A regular polygon has ten (10) equal sides ( since it is regular).
We are given with the perimeter value which is 100 units and the perimeter formula is P = 10a
Solving for a (the side measurement), we have:
100 = 10a
a= 100/10
a =10

We can now proceed in solving the area and the formula is shown below:
Area = 5/2 a√ (5+2√5)
Area = 5/2 * 10√(5+2√5)
Area = 76.94 square units

The answer is 96.94 square units.

How large a sample should be selected to provide a 95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 6? Assume that the populati

marshall27 [118]

Using the z-distribution, it is found that a sample of 171 should be selected.

<h3>What is a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

$\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

The margin of error is:

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which:

$\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation for the population.

For this problem, the parameters are:

$z = 1.96, \sigma = 40, M = 6$

Hence we solve for n to find the needed sample size.

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$6 = 1.96\frac{40}{\sqrt{n}}$

$6\sqrt{n} = 40 \times 1.96$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{40 \times 1.96}{6}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{40 \times 1.96}{6}\right)^2$

n = 170.7.

Rounding up, a sample of 171 should be selected.
