Chad can paint a room in 5 h. cassie can paint the room in 3 h. how long would it take them to paint the room working together?

1 answer:

8 0

If Chad can paint the whole room in 5 hours, in 1 hour he gets 1/5 of it painted. If Cassie can paint the whole room in 3 hours, in 1 hour she gets 1/3 of it painted. If we add those together we can find out how much of the room they can paint together in one hour. 1/5 + 1/3 = 1/x, with x being the number of hours it will take them to paint the room together. Common denominator is 15, therefore, 3/15 + 5/15 = 1/x and 8/15 = 1/x. Cross-multiply to get 8x = 15, so it will take them 15/8 hours, or 1.9 hours to paint the whole room together.

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.025}{1.28})^2}=655.36$

And rounded up we have that n=656

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 80% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.80=0.20$ and $\alpha/2 =0.10$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.28$

Solution to the problem

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

Since we don't have prior info for the proportion of interest we can use $\hat p=0.5$ as estimator. And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.025$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
