Answer:

A sample size of 75 must be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population variance equals 484 and we have to find the sample size that needs to be taken if the desired margin of error is 5 or less.

As we know that the Margin of error formula is given by;

  Margin of error = Z_\frac{\alpha}{2} \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

where, \alpha = significance level = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 and  (\frac{\alpha}{2}) = 0.025.

           \sigma = standard deviation = \sqrt{Variance} = \sqrt{484} = 22

           n = sample size

Also, at 0.025 significance level the z table gives critical value of 1.96.

So,<u> margin of error</u> is ;

                     5=1.96 \times \frac{22}{\sqrt{n} }

                    \sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96 \times 22}{5}

                     \sqrt{n} = 8.624

Squaring both sides we get,

                      n = 8.264^{2} = 74.5

So, we must need at least a sample size of 75.

Answer:

We need a sample size of at least 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, we find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. So:

\sigma = \sqrt{484} = 22

With a .95 probability, the sample size that needs to be taken if the desired margin of error is 5 or less is

We need a sample size of at least n, in which n is found when M = 5. So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

5 = 1.96*\frac{22}{\sqrt{n}}

5\sqrt{n} = 43.12

\sqrt{n} = \frac{43.12}{5}

\sqrt{n} = 8.624

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (8.624)^{2}

n = 74.4

We need a sample size of at least 75.

There are 9 more pencils then pens in a container. There are 25 writing utensils in the container in all. How many pens are ther
VashaNatasha [74]
In order to determine the number of pens present in the container, we need to set up equations from the given in the problem statement. We do as follows:

let x the number of pencils
    y the number of pens

From the statement, 9 more pencils then pens in a container,

x = y + 9

From the statement, there are 25 writing utensils in the container in all,

x + y = 25

We use substitution method to calculate for x and y,

y + 9 + y = 25
2y = 16
y = 8
x = 17

Therefore, there are 8 pens in the container and 17 pencils.

Option C

The ratio for the volumes of two similar cylinders is 8 : 27

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let there are two cylinder of heights "h" and "H"

Also radius to be "r" and "R"

\text { Volume of a cylinder }=\pi r^{2} h

Where π = 3.14 , r is the radius and h is the height

Now the ratio of their heights and radii is 2:3 .i.e  

\frac{\mathrm{r}}{R}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{H}=\frac{2}{3}

<em><u>Ratio for the volumes of two cylinders</u></em>

\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\frac{\pi r^{2} h}{\pi R^{2} H}

Cancelling the common terms, we get

\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{R}\right)^{2} \times\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{H}}\right)

Substituting we get,

\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{2} \times\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)

\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\frac{2 \times 2 \times 2}{3 \times 3 \times 3}

\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\frac{8}{27}

Hence, the ratio of volume of two cylinders is 8 : 27

Can someone explain how to do this and add the formula please
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

5 is 35 and 6 is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve 5, you need to know how many degrees is the line, which is 180 because lines are 180 degrees. You then subtract 110 from 180 which equals to 70. What you have left now is 2k. A number times 2 will equal to 70, so k=35.

For 6, if you ever see two lines intersecting each other, it means that it is 360 degrees. We already have one angle, which is 120. The other angle is d+70 degrees, and any angle that is reflecting the other angle will have the same value. So, d equals 50
