A text font fits 12 characters per inch. Using the same font, how many characters can be expected per yard of text?

1 answer:

3 0

There are 36 inches in a yard, so multiply the 12 characters that go into an inch by 36 to find out how many characters go into a yard. 12x36=432. You can expect 432 characters to fit in a yard :)

Answer:

a) $n=\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=4905.83$

And rounded up we have that n=4906

b) For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion $\hat p =0.5$

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=6724$

And rounded up we have that n=6724

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that the confidence interval for the true proportion is given by :

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

Part a

The estimated proportion for this case is $\hat p =0.76$

Our interval is at 90% of confidence, and the significance level is given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . The critical values for this case are:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64$

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)

The margin of error desired is given $ME =\pm 0.01$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

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

Replacing we got:

$n=\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=4905.83$

And rounded up we have that n=4906

Part b

For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion $\hat p =0.5$

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=6724$

And rounded up we have that n=6724

First 1/5 is equivalent to 20% so to get 20% of both of them multiply by .2. so 400×.2=80 and 90×.2=18

The first term in the sequence is 1, and each other term is 5 more than three times the previous term.

$a_1=1, a_n=a_{n-1}+5$ ( $n>1$ ).

Hope this helps.

How many 1/8s are there in 3/4

natka813 [3]

Answer:

there are 6/8 in 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

if you want to change the denominator of the fraction, you must find the multiple of it,

(3/4) x 2 is 6/8

so you have 6 x (1/8) thats the same 6/8

3/4 is the minimum simplification, if you want to find the same fraction but with other denominator, you have to multiply 3/4 for any number, to do this you have to multiply the numerator and the denominator
