Exercise 6.13 presents the results of a poll evaluating support for the health care public option in 2009, reporting that 52% of

Independents in the sample opposed the public option. If we wanted to estimate this number to within 1% with 90% confidence, what would be an appropriate sample size?

Answer:

A sample size of 6755 or higher would be appropriate.

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 M is given by:

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

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

52% of Independents in the sample opposed the public option.

This means that p = 0.52

If we wanted to estimate this number to within 1% with 90% confidence, what would be an appropriate sample size?

Sample size of size n or higher when M = 0.01. So

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

0.01 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.52*0.48}{n}}

0.01\sqrt{n} = 0.8218

\sqrt{n} = \frac{0.8218}{0.01}

\sqrt{n} = 82.18

\sqrt{n}^{2} = (82.18)^{2}

n = 6754.2

A sample size of 6755 or higher would be appropriate.

You own three different rings. You wear all three rings, but no two of the rings are on the same finger, nor are any of them on
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Therefore you can wear your rings in =336 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication Law: If one occurs in x ways and second event occurs in y ways.Then the number of ways that two event occur in sequence is xy

Given that you have 3 different rings.

We have total 10 figures.

But you don't wear ring on your thumbs.

We have 2 thumbs.

So you can wear rings on (10-2) = 8 figures.

The ways of wearing of first ring is = 8

The ways of wearing of second ring is = 7

The ways of wearing of third ring is = 6

Therefore you can wear your rings in =(8×7×6)

                                                             =336 ways

Need help badly don’t have answer to this problem.
NikAS [45]
There are a couple of ways to tackle this one, using the 45-45-90 rule or just using the pythagorean theore, let's use the pythagorean theorem.

the angle at A is 45°, and its opposite side is BC, the angle at C is 45° as well, and its opposite side is AB, well, the angles are the same, thus BC = AB.

hmmm le'ts call hmmm ohh hmmm say z, thus BC = AB = z.

\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem}
\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2 \implies (6\sqrt{2})^2=z^2+z^2
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=\stackrel{6\sqrt{2}}{hypotenuse}\\
a=\stackrel{z}{adjacent}\\
b=\stackrel{z}{opposite}\\
\end{cases}\\\\\\ 6^2(\sqrt{2})^2=2z^2\implies 36(2)=2z^2\implies \cfrac{36(2)}{2}=z^2\implies 36=z^2
\\\\\\
\sqrt{36}=z\implies 6=z
