Answer:

A sample of 1068 is needed.

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}}

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

At 95% confidence, how large a sample should be taken to obtain a margin of error of 0.03 for the estimation of a population proportion?

We need a sample of n.

n is found when M = 0.03.

We have no prior estimate of \pi, so we use the worst case scenario, which is \pi = 0.5

Then

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

0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.03})^{2}

n = 1067.11

Rounding up

A sample of 1068 is needed.

A transformation T : (x, y) → (x + 3, y + 1). Find the preimage of the point (4, 3) under the given transformation. (7, 4) (1, 2
motikmotik

Answer:

(1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the final shape and position of a figure after a transformation is called the image, and the original shape and position of the figure is the pre-image.

In our case, our figure is just a point. We know that after the transformation T : (x, y) → (x + 3, y + 1), our image has coordinates (4, 3).

The transformation rule T : (x, y) → (x + 3, y + 1) means that we add 3 to the x-coordinate and add 1 to the y-coordinate of our pre-image. Now to find the pre-image of our point, we just need to reverse those operations; in other words, we will subtract 3 from the x-coordinate and subtract 1 from the y-coordinate.

So, our rule to find the pre-image of the point (4, 3) is:

T : (x, y) → (x - 3, y - 1)

We know that the x-coordinate of our image is 4 and its y-coordinate is 3.

Replacing values:

                (4 - 3, 3 - 1)

                (1, 2)

We can conclude that our pre-image is the point (1, 2).

Given a segment with endpoints A and B, What figure can you construct using the steps below?
RoseWind [281]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Given a segment with endpoints A and B and the steps given above, the figure that you can construct would be a perpendicular bisector. <span>The </span>perpendicular bisector<span> of a line segment can be constructed using a compass by drawing circles centered at and with radius and connecting their two intersections.</span>
