7 lbs is 112 ounces. 112 plus 9 is 121. 121 plus 12 is 133. The total weight of the basket and the watermelon is 133 ounces. I'm not sure how you need the answer so I'll leave it in a couple different forms.

Ounces- 133
Pounds- 8.312 (rounds to the nearest tenth, 8.3)
Pounds and ounces- 8 pounds and 5 ounces

Which trail is the closest in length to 10.5 kilometers?

Yuliya22 [10]

First of all you calculate the difference between the numbers:
10.5 - 10.653 = -0.153
10.5 - 10.592 = -0.092
10.5 - 10.732 = -0.232
10.5 - 10.484 = 0.016

You then select the difference with the smallest number (ignoring the positive and negative symbols). That happens to be the last one.

This means that the answer will be D) Spruce Trail.

In a study of government financial aid for college students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of full-time coll

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

a) n = 1037.

b) n = 1026.

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:

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

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

(a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage to be estimated.

We need to find n when M = 0.04.

We dont know the percentage to be estimated, so we use $\pi = 0.5$ , which is when we are going to need the largest sample size.

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

$0.04 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.5$

$(\sqrt{n}) = \frac{2.575*0.5}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*0.5}{0.04})^{2}$

$n = 1036.03$

Rounding up

n = 1037.

(b) Assume prior studies have shown that about 55% of full-time students earn bachelor's degrees in four years or less.

$\pi = 0.55$

So

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

$0.04 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.55*0.45}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 2.575*\sqrt{0.55*0.45}$

$(\sqrt{n}) = \frac{2.575*\sqrt{0.55*0.45}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*\sqrt{0.55*0.45}}{0.04})^{2}$

$n = 1025.7$

Rounding up

n = 1026.
