Answer: a)2206  b) 2209

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the sample size :

a) If prior population proportion (p) is known.

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{c}}{E})^2

b) If prior population proportion (p) is unknown.

n=0.25(\dfrac{z_{c}}{E})^2

where, {z_{c} is the z-value associated with confidence level and E would be the margin of error .

Solution : Let p be the proportion of citizens who​ "follow professional​ football."

a) Given : p=0.48

Margin of error : E= 0.02

z-value for 94% confidence = z_c=1.88

Required sample size would be :

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{c}}{E})^2

\Rightarrow\ n=0.48(1-0.48)(\dfrac{1.88}{0.02})^2

Simply ,

n=2205.4656\approx2206  [Rounded to the next whole number.]

∴ The sample size is <u>2206</u>.

b) Proportion of citizens who​ "follow professional​ football" is unknown.

Margin of error : E= 0.02

z-value for 94% confidence = z_c=1.88

Required sample size would be :

n=0.25(\dfrac{z_{c}}{E})^2

\Rightarrow\ n=0.25(\dfrac{1.88}{0.02})^2

Simply ,

n=2209  

∴ The sample size is <u>2209</u>.

A random sample of 2 measurements is taken from the following population of values: 0, 1, 3, 4, 7. What is the probability that
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Range as a measure of central tendency is the difference between the highest value and the lowest value in a given set of data.

Given the samples 0,1,3,4,7

Total number of samples is 5

The range is gotten by taking the difference of 2 samplesout of 5samples and this can be done in 5C2 ways.

5C2 = 5!/(5-2)!2!

= 5!/3!2!

= 5×4×3!/3!×2

= 10ways

The total outcome is therefore 10

To get the probability that the range is 4, we need to get the required outcome of getting range of 4 and this can only occur twice

The range can be gotten by taking the difference between 7 and 3, it can also be gotten by taking the difference between 4 and 0. Both differences will give us a total of 4

The expected outcome is therefore 2

the probability that the range of the sample is 4 = expected outcome/total outcome

= 2/10

= 1/5

A phone company charges $0.50 per minute and a connection fee of $1. If you were to represent the total cost y of an x minute ca
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Per minute charges by the phone company = $ 0.50

Connection fee (fixed) charged by company = $ 1.0

We have to represent the total cost in terms of y and also explain the slope of the line.

According to the question:

Let the number of minutes be "x" .

And the total cost charged be "y" .

So,

The total cost = (No. of minutes)(Per minute charge) + Connection fee

Re-arranging in term of x and y.

⇒ total\ cost = (no.\ of\ minutes)(per\ minute\ charge) + connection\ fee

⇒ y=0.50(x)+1   ...equation (i)

Slope- intercept form: y=m(x) +b  m is the slope and b is the y-is   intercept.

⇒ Comparing equation (i) with the slope- intercept form.

⇒ m=0.50  and  b=1

So,

The slope of the line is 0.50 which is also represented by the per minute value of the call.

Per minute value fee would be the slope of the line.

The base of a 13 foot ladder is 5 feet away from the wall. How far up the wall does the ladder reach? A)8 feet B)10 feet C)12 fe
Lisa [10]

You are solving for the height. Use the formula:

c² - b² = a²      in which c = hypotenuse

(13)² - (5)² = a²

Simplify

169 - 25 = a²

144 = a²

Isolate the a. Root both sides

√144 = √a²

a = √144

a = √(12 x 12)

a = 12

C) 12 feet is your answer
