Answer:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.009}{2.58})^2}=20544.44  

And rounded up we have that n=20545

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this question: Use the data to find minium sample size required to estimate population proportion. Margin of error: 0.009, confidence level: 99%, p and q are unknown.

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.99=0.01 and \alpha/2 =0.005. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, z_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.009 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

Assuming an estimation of p as \hat p =0.5. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.009}{2.58})^2}=20544.44  

And rounded up we have that n=20545

(5s-6)(3s+2) please just give me the answer I have to turn it in today
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The answer is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

you subtract common numbers, so:

5s - 3s = 2s

Then,

-6 + 2 = -4

You would then get

2s - 4

divide -4 by 2 which is -2

and your answer is s = -2

Find sec theta if theta is in quadrant 4 and sin theta= -1/5
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

\frac{5}{2\sqrt{6} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Θ is in fourth quadrant then cosΘ > 0, as is secΘ

Given

sinΘ = - \frac{1}{5}, then

cosΘ = \sqrt{1-(-1/5)^2}

         = \sqrt{1-\frac{1}{25} } = \sqrt{\frac{24}{25} } = \frac{2\sqrt{6} }{5}

Hence

secΘ = \frac{1}{\frac{2\sqrt{6} }{5} } = \frac{5}{2\sqrt{6} }

I'm really bad at geometry. Please help
postnew [5]
The sides of the frame are (12+2x) and (6+2x).
Its area A is 112.

Therefore by equating:
(12+2x)*(6+2x)=112
you can get the answer for x. You will obtain a quadratic equation you have to solve.
