If you have at least as many equations as your have unknown variables, the 'system' is solvable (unless the equations are copies of eachother).

In this case, isolate one letter and plug it in the other. I'm going for the 2a in the bottom one (it doesn't matter)

2a - 4b = 12 => (divide by two and move the b's to the other side)

a = 6 + 2b. (plug this one into the top equation)

4(6+2b) + 6b = 10 => 24+8b+6b = 10 => 24 + 14b = 10 => 14b = -14 => b=-1

a = 6 + -2 = 4.

So a=4 and b=-1.

I would say B with my answer. You'd divide 570 by 19 then multiply by 8.

A researcher wants to estimate the percentage of all adults that have used the Internet to seek pre-purchase information in the
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The sample size is 1875.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

Sampling error of 0.03.

This means that M = 0.03

99.74% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.0026, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.0026}{2} = 0.9987, so Z = 3.

25% of all adults had used the Internet for such a purpose

This means that \pi = 0.25

What is the sample size

The sample size is n. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 3\sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 3\sqrt{0.25*0.75}

Simplifying by 0.03 both sides

\sqrt{n} = 100\sqrt{0.25*0.75}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (100\sqrt{0.25*0.75})^2

n = 1875

The sample size is 1875.
