In the past, 19% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent had the father as the stay-at-home parent. An independent research firm

has been charged with conducting a sample survey to obtain more current information. (a) What sample size is needed if the research firm's goal is to estimate the current proportion of homes with a stay-at-home parent in which the father is the stay-at-home parent with a margin of error of 0.03? Use a 95% confidence level. (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

Answer:

A sample size of 657 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.

In the past, 19% of all homes with a stay-at-home parent had the father as the stay-at-home parent.

This means that \pi = 0.19

(a) What sample size is needed if the research firm's goal is to estimate the current proportion of homes with a stay-at-home parent in which the father is the stay-at-home parent with a margin of error of 0.03?

A sample size of n is needed.

n is found when M = 0.03

Then

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

0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.19*0.81}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.19*0.81}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.19*0.81}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.19*0.81}}{0.03})^{2}

n = 656.91

Rounding up to the nearest whole number.

A sample size of 657 is needed.

TEA [102]

Answer:

<h2>a. \:  {x}^{2}  + 2</h2>

<h2> </h2><h2>b. \: 2 {x}^{2}  - 5x</h2><h2> </h2><h2>c. \: 6 {x}^{2}  + 8x</h2><h3> </h3><h3>d. \: 6 {x}^{2}  - 12x</h3>

solution,

a. \: x(x + 2) \\  \:  \:  = x \times x + 2 \times x \\  \:  \:  =  {x}^{2}  + 2x

b . \: x(2x - 5) \\  \:  = x \times 2x - x \times 5 \\  \:  \:  = 2 {x}^{2}  - 5x

c. \: 2x(3x + 4) \\  \:  = 2x \times 3x + 2x \times 4 \\  \:  \:  = 6 {x}^{2}  + 8x

d. \: 6x(x - 2) \\  \:  \:  = 6x \times x  - 6x \times 2 \\  \:  \:  = 6 {x}^{2}  - 12x

:
Pulling out like terms

Pull out like factors :

32 - 2x = -2 • (x - 16)

STEP
2
:

Equations which are never true:

2.1 Solve : -2 = 0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : x-16 = 0

Add 16 to both sides of the equation :
x = 16
