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%.

Graph this following function
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Please find attached the graph of the following function;

\left\{\begin{matrix}x - 1 & if & -2 \leq x < 0\\ 1 & if  & x = 0 \\ 3 & if & 0 < x \leq 2\end{matrix}\right.

Step-by-step explanation:

We note that the function is linear from x = 2 to just before x = 0

The linear relationship of the function f(x) with x changes just before x = 0

At x = 0, the value of f(x) is indicated as 1

From just after x = 0, the function is a straight horizontal line y = 3

The function also changes value immediately after x = 0 to the line y = 3

The areas where the function is defined are shown in continuous lines
