Answer:

n=350

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions

n random sample taken  (variable of interest)

\hat p=0.35 estimated proportion  (value assumed)

p true population proportion

Confidence =0.95 or 95% (value assumed)

Me=0.05 (value assumed)

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

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 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025. And the critical value would be given by:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96

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)  

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 0.05 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)  

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

n=\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=349.586  

And rounded up we have that n=350

Infiniti sells 8 different models of cars, with 5 different trim levels and 5 color choices. What is the total amount of options
solniwko [45]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Infiniti sells 8 different models of cars, with 5 different trim levels and 5 color choices.

Now, 8 different models of cars with 5 different trim levels have (8 × 5) = 40 choices.

Similarly, with  8 different models of cars, with 5 different trim levels and 5 color choices, there will be total (40 × 5) = 200 options one could choose. ( Answer )

Find the value of the constant m √150 - √12m + √54 = 0​
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

<u>m</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>√</u><u>2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

{ \tt{ \sqrt{150}  -  \sqrt{12}m +  \sqrt{54}  = 0 }} \\ { \tt{ \sqrt{12}m } =  \sqrt{150}  -  \sqrt{54} } \\ { \tt{ (\sqrt{4 \times 3}) m = ( \sqrt{25 \times 6} ) - ( \sqrt{9 \times 6}) }} \\ { \tt{( \sqrt{4 \times 3} )m = 5 \sqrt{6}  - 3 \sqrt{6} }} \\ { \tt{2 \sqrt{3}m = 5 \sqrt{6}   - 3 \sqrt{6} }} \\ { \tt{2 \sqrt{3} m = 2 \sqrt{6} }} \\ { \tt{ \sqrt{3}  m =  \sqrt{6} }} \\ { \tt{ \sqrt{3} m = ( \sqrt{3} \times  \sqrt{2} ) }} \\ { \tt{m =  \sqrt{2} }}
