13/5 does not equal 3 3/5.

Let's make 3 3/5 an improper fraction.

Multiply 3*5+3= 18

18/5 does not equal 13/5.

I hope this helps!

You wish to compute the 99% confidence interval for the population proportion. How large a sample should you draw to ensure that

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.13}{2.58})^2}=98.47$

And rounded up we have that n=99

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.13$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

We assume the value for $\hat p =0.5$ since we don't have previous info. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.13}{2.58})^2}=98.47$

And rounded up we have that n=99

A square and a circle intersect so that each side of the square contains a chord of the circle equal in length to the radius of

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that Square contains a chord of of the circle equal to the radius thus from diagram

$QR=chord =radius =R$

If Chord is equal to radius then triangle PQR is an equilateral Triangle

Thus $QO=\frac{R}{2}=RO$

In triangle PQO applying Pythagoras theorem

$(PQ)^2=(PO)^2+(QO)^2$

$PO=\sqrt{(PQ)^2-(QO)^2}$

$PO=\sqrt{R^2-\frac{R^2}{4}}$

$PO=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}R$

Thus length of Side of square $=2PO=\sqrt{3}R$

Area of square $=(\sqrt{3}R)^2=3R^2$

Area of Circle $=\pi R^2$

Ratio of square to the circle $=\frac{3R^2}{\pi R^2}=\frac{3}{\pi }$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection is a rigid transformation, so the side length does not change.

A'B' = 7
