Answer:

A sample of 385 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.

How large a sample:

We need a sample of n.

n is found when M = 0.05.

We dont know the true proportion, so we work with the worst case scenario, which is \pi = 0.5

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

0.05 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.05}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.05})^{2}

n = 384.16

Rounding up

A sample of 385 is needed.

How to slove step by step

\frac{x+3}{12} = \frac{2}{7}

Multiply both sides by 12, so that we get rid of the fraction in x.

12 · (x+3)/12 = 2/7 · 12

Simplify.

x + 3 = 24/7

Then, subtract 3 from both sides, so that "x" gets isolated.

x = 24/7 - 3

Turn "3" into an improper fraction so that we could find the value of x easier.

3 = 21/3

So :

x = 24/7 - 21/7

Simplify.

x = 3/7

~Hope this helps!~

Which pair(s) of expression are equal in value? Check all that apply
ankoles [38]

Note: Since the symbols for greatest integer function (GIF) and least integer function (LIF) are not given, I will be using the words GIF and LIF in the solution

GIF x means largest integer less than or equal to x, and LIF x means least integer greater than or equal to x.

We need to determine which expressions are equal

Option 1: GIF 4.9 and LIF 3.1

GIF 4.9 =  3

LIF 3.1 = 4

Hence GIF 4.9 ≠ LIF 3.1

Option 2: GIF 15.2 and GIF 14.8

GIF 15.2 = 15

GIF 14.8 = 14

Hence, GIF 15.2 ≠ GIF 14.8

Option 3: GIF -6 and LIF -6

GIF -6 = -6

LIF -6 = -6

Hence, GIF -6 = LIF -6

Option 4: LIF -3.2 and LIF -2.6

LIF -3.2 = -2

LIF -2.6 = -1

Hence, LIF -3.2 ≠ LIF -2.6

Hence, only in Option C the pair of expressions are equal.
