Answer:

Around 2397 Americans must be surveyed to get a margin of error of 2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Proportion of US residents who thinks marijuana should be made legal = 48%

\hat{p} = 0.48

We have to construct a 95% confidence interval.

Margin of error = 2% = 0.02

Formula for margin of error =

z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

Putting values, we get,

0.02 = 1.96\times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}\\\\0.02 = 1.96\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.48(1-0.48)}{n}}\\\\\sqrt{n} = 1.96\times \dfrac{\sqrt{0.48(1-0.48)}}{0.02}\\\\\sqrt{n}=48.96\\n = 2397.0816\approx 2397

Thus, around 2397 Americans must be surveyed to get a margin of error of 2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a denominator has a positive exponent we change it into an expression with a negative exponent and vice-versa, when a numerator has a positive exponent, we change it into a denominator with a negative exponent.

a)   \frac{1}{p^{4}} = p⁻⁴

b) \frac{1}{25} = 25⁻¹

Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges 18 dollars plus 8 dollars an hour for renting a bike. Alyssa paid 50 dollars to rent a bike.
Verizon [17]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of renting a bike at Oceanside Bike Rental Shop = 18 + 8x

Where,

x = number of hours for renting the bike

Alyssa paid 50 dollars to rent a bike.

How many hours did she pay to have the bike checked out ?

C = 18 + 8x

50 = 18 + 8x

Subtract 18 from both sides

50 - 18 = 18 + 8x - 18

32 = 8x

Divide both sides by 8

32 / 8 = 8x / 8

4 = x

x = 4 hours
