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.

What is the following quotient? sqrt 6 + sqrt 11 / sqrt 5 +sqrt 3
just olya [345]

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt6 +\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{30} - \sqrt{18} + \sqrt{55} - \sqrt{33}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's translate what you've written in words to an expression with mathematical symbols.

\frac{\sqrt6 +\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}}

To solve this, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator with the conjugate of the denominator.

\frac{\sqrt6 +\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{30} - \sqrt{18} + \sqrt{55} - \sqrt{33}}{2}

Your cellphone plan gives you 500 minutes monthly. If you have used 310 minutes already and there is a week left this month, how
Nitella [24]
In this case, you already used 310 minutes out of 500 minutes monthly. So the remaining time for your cell phone should be: 500 minutes -310 minutes= 190 minutes.
You still have 1 week this month, that means the 190 mins time must be divided into 1 week or 7 days. Then the duration you of cell phone use for each day should be: 190 minute/7days= 27.14 minutes/day

Simplify<br><br> sqrt(3 + 2 sqrt 2) ...?
trasher [3.6K]
The answer is 1 + √2

sqrt(2) is \sqrt{2}
sqrt(3 + 2 sqrt 2) is \sqrt{3 +2 \sqrt{2} }
Now, let's simplify \sqrt{3 +2 \sqrt{2} }.
We will use square of sum: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

\sqrt{3 +2 \sqrt{2} } = \sqrt{1+2+2 \sqrt{2} }= \sqrt{1+2 \sqrt{2}+2 }= \\ &#10;= \sqrt{1^{2} +2*1* \sqrt{2} + (\sqrt{2} ) ^{2} } = \sqrt{(1+ \sqrt{2}) ^{2}} =1+ \sqrt{2}
