You work for a marketing firm that has a large client in the automobile industry. You have been asked to estimate the proportion

of households in Chicago that have two or more vehicles. You have been assigned to gather a random sample that could be used to estimate this proportion to within a 0.03 margin of error at a 95% level of confidence. a) With no prior research, what sample size should you gather in order to obtain a 0.03 margin of error? Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

The sample size must be approximately 1067 to get a margin of error of 0.03.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Margin of error = 0.03

Significance level = 5%

Margin of error =

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

Since, no prior proportions are given, we take

\hat{p} = 0.5

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

Putting values, we get,

0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\dfrac{0.5(1-0.5)}{n}}\\\\\sqrt{n} = \dfrac{1.96\times 0.5}{0.03}\\\\\\sqrt{n} = 32.67\\n = 1067.3289\approx 1067

Thus, the sample size must be approximately 1067 to get a margin of error of 0.03.

Find the formula for an exponential function that passes through the two points given.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

y = 7(3^x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (0,7)

(x_2,y_2) = (4,567)

Required

Determine the formula

An exponential function is of the form:

y = ab^x

For point (x_1,y_1) = (0,7)

7 = ab^0

7 = a*1

7 = a

a = 7

For point (x_2,y_2) = (4,567)

567 = ab^4

Substitute 7 for a

567 = 7*b^4

Divide both sides by 7

81 = b^4

Take 4th root of both sides

\sqrt[4]{81} =\sqrt[4]{b^4}

\sqrt[4]{81} =b

b = \sqrt[4]{81}

b = 3

Substitute 7 for a and 3 for b in y = ab^x

y = 7 * 3^x

y = 7(3^x)
