Why is partitioning a directed line segment with a ratio of 1:2 not the same as finding half the length of the directed line seg

The ratio would need to be 1:1 in order to split the line in half. Think of it like having two cookies. If you split those cookies between you and your friend, then you get 1 and s/he gets the other. So the ratio of your cookie count to your friend's count is 1:1

With the ratio 1:2, you would have 1 cookie while your friend has 2 cookies. This is no longer a fair split. Things are not 50/50 anymore. You have 1/3 of the cookies while your friend has 2/3 of the cookies. Your friend would have twice as much.

So that applies to the segment lengths as well. The line segment would be split up into two parts A and B. Part A is the smaller segment that is half as long as part B. Or put another way, part B is twice as long as part A

In an inductive generalization, in order to achieve an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points at a confidence level o
ANTONII [103]
Let n =  required random sample size.

Assume that the population standard deviation is known as σ.
Let m =  sample mean.
At the 95% confidence level, the expected range is
(m - k(σ/√n), m + k(σ/√n))
where k = 1.96.

Therefore the error margin is 1.96(σ/√n).
Because the error margin is specified as 3% or 0.03, therefore
(1.96σ)/√n = 0.03
√n = (1.96σ)/0.03
n = 128.05σ²

This means that the sample size is about 128 times the population variance.

Answer:
Smallest sample size = 128.05σ², where σ = population standard deviation.
