Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's draw this out (see attachment).

We know that since B lies on AC, we have the points in order from left to right: A, B, C.

AB = 9, which is the left portion. BC = 49, which is the right portion. Then AC is simply the sum:

AC = AB + BC = 9 + 49 = 58

The answer is thus 58.

In a survey, the planning value for the population proportion is p* = 0.35. How large a sample should be taken to provide a 95%

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=349.59$

And rounded up we have that n=350

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

$p$ represent the real population proportion of interest

$\aht p$ represent the estimated proportion for the sample

n is the sample size required (variable of interest)

$z$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

Solution to the problem

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:
