A newspaper article states that 90% of drivers in Iowa wear their seatbelt. Suppose we are interested in estimating the proporti

on of drivers in Iowa City who wear their seatbelt when driving. We will observe drivers at different times of the day at different locations around town and record whether they are wearing their seatbelt. How large of a sample would we need to estimate this proportion to within 1% with 95% confidence?

Answer:

The sample size is  n  = 3457

Step-by-step explanation:

From the we are told that

  The population proportion is  p =  0.90

  The margin of error is  E =  0.01  

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

       n  =[  \frac{ Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }  }{E} ]^2 * p(1-p)

=>  n  =[  \frac{ 1.96  }{0.01} ]^2 * 0.90(1-0.90)

=>   n  = 3457

The difference of the square of a number and 40 is equal to 3 times that number. Find the positive solution.
Wewaii [24]

Answer: The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation: The first step is to convert the expression into figures. We shall call the unknown number Y. So if we are told “the square of a number,” that means Y squared, or better still, Y^2. Further we are told “the difference between the square of a number and 40” and that can be written as;

Y^2 - 40.

Next we are told that this expression is equal to 3 times that number (that is 3Y). That can now be written out as follows,

Y^2 - 40 = 3Y

If we move all expressions to one side of the equation, what we would have is,

Y^2 - 3Y -40 = 0

(Remember that when a positive value crosses to the other side of an equation it becomes negative and vice versa)

We now have a quadratic equation

Y^2 -3Y - 40 = 0

By factorizing we now have

(Y -8) (Y + 5) = 0

Therefore Y - 8 = 0 or

Y + 5 = 0

Hence, Y = 8 or Y = -5

Since we are asked to calculate the positive solution, Y = 8

What is the zeros of the quadratic function y=x^2+14x+24
777dan777 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

{x}^{2}  + 14x + 24 = 0 \\  {x}^{2}  + 12x + 2x + 24 = 0 \\ x(x + 12) + 2(x + 12) = 0 \\ (x + 12)(x + 2)  = 0\\ x =  - 12 \\ x =  - 2
