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

Which equation is equivalent to 4s=t+ 2?S= 1-2S=4/t+2S =t+2/4 S=t+6
Marina CMI [18]

SOLUTION:

We are to make S the subject of the formula;

\begin{gathered} 4S\text{ = t + 2} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 4} \\ \frac{4S}{4}\text{ = }\frac{t\text{ + 2}}{4} \\ S\text{ = }\frac{t\text{ + 2}}{4} \\  \\  \end{gathered}

The correct option is the third one.

Maggie's brother is three years younger than twice her age. The sum of their ages is 24 how old is maggie?
Vanyuwa [196]

The variable for Maggie will be M and 2x-3 be her younger brothers age (<u>Twice her age). </u>We then would turn this into <u>an algebraic problem</u>. (m+2x -3=24).

3x-3=24, we would add 3 to both sides (-3 and 24). 24 + 3 equals 27, we now have to divide -3x and 27 on both sides, which equals <u>9. (x=9)</u>

The circumference of a circle is 9π m. What is the area of the circle? ASAP!
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

20.25 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area (A) and circumference (C) of a circle are calculated using the formulae

C = 2πr and A = πr² ( where r is the radius )

calculate the radius using the formula for circumference

2πr = 9π ( divide both sides by 2π )

r = \frac{9\pi }{2\pi } = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5, hence

A = π × 4.5² = 20.25π m²

Suppose that w and t vary inversely and that t = 5/12
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Option B. t=5/3w ;1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that w varies Inversely with t thus generally speaking w∝\frac{1}{t}  since they are inverted, <u>otherwise</u> if they were proportionally varied then w∝t. This means that there is a constant value ( a ) for which w is inversely proportional to t and can be mathematically expressed as:

w=\frac{a}{t}        Eqn. (1)

Now since we are given the values of w=4 and t=\frac{5}{12}, we can plug them in Eqn. (1) and find our constant of proportionality a as follow:

w=\frac{a}{t}\\ \\a=wt\\\\a=(4)(\frac{5}{12} )\\\\a=\frac{5}{3}

Now that we have our constant we can find the new t value for the second value of w=5 as follow:

w=\frac{a}{t} \\\\t=\frac{a}{w}\\ \\t=\frac{\frac{5}{3} }{5}\\\\t=\frac{5}{15}\\ \\t=\frac{1}{3}\\

Therefore based on the options give, we can see that Option B. is correct since

t=\frac{5}{3w} and for w=5, then t=\frac{1}{3}
