Many states are carefully considering steps that would help them collect sales taxes on items purchased through the Internet. Ho

w many randomly selected sales transactions must be surveyed to determine the percentage that transpired over the​ Internet? Assume that we want to be 90​% confident that the sample percentage is within five percentage points of the true population percentage for all sales transactions.

Answer:

We need at least 271 transactions

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Minimum sample size within five percentage points.

n when M = 0.05.

We dont know the proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5, which would be the proportion requiring the largest sample size

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.05 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

\0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.5

\sqrt{n} = 16.45

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (16.45)^{2}

n = 270.6

Rouding up

We need at least 271 transactions

What is the solution, if any, to the inequality |3x|≥0?
Murljashka [212]

The inequality is all real numbers.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

A statement of an order relationship—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

Given:

|3x|≥0

3x = 0

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable

x= 0/3

x=0 = RHS

In ΔABC, BC = 4 centimeters, m∠B = m∠C, and m∠A = 20°. What is AC to two decimal places?
ipn [44]
M<A = <span>20°
m<B = m<C = 8</span><span>0°

</span>Law of Sines , in any triangle we have
a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin c<span>

4/sin20 = AC/sin80 = AB/sin80

now we can solve AC

</span>4/sin20 = AC/sin80
<span>AC = 4 (sin80)/ sin20
AC = 4(0.98) / (0.34)
AC = 3.92 / 0.34
AC = 11.52
