Look at Karen's attempt to solve the equation for y: y + 8 = 15, y = 15 + 8, y = 23.Describe the mistake that Karen made.

1 answer:

6 0

The mistake that Karen made was that in order to get the 8 to switch sides, it should have been subtracted rather than added. This is because it is positive on the left side and therefore must be negative when we switch it to the right side. A proper version of this problem would be below.

y + 8 = 15

y = 15 - 8

y = 7

Professor York randomly surveyed 240 students at Oxnard University and found that 150 of the students surveyed watch more than 1

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

1727 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have the formula for sample size given as

$n = \frac{p(1-p)z^2}{ME^2}$

Where:

p = Mean

ME = Margin of error = 3

z = z score

Therefore, we have

p = 150/240 = 0.625

z at 99 % = 2.575

ME = $\pm$ 3%

Therefore $n = \frac{0.625(1-0.625)2.575^2}{0.03^2} = 1726.73$

The number of students Professor York have to sample to estimate the proportion of all Oxnard University students who watch more than 10 hours of television each week within ±3 percent with 99 percent confidence = 1727 students.
