Since we are not given any information about the proportion, we will assume the sample proportion to be 0.50

so,
p = 0.50
The Error is 10% percentage point. This means that on either side of the population proportion the error is 5% so E = 0.05
z = 1.645 (Z value for 90% confidence interval)

The margin of error for population proportion is calculated as:

E=z* \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }  \\  \\ 
 \frac{E}{z} = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} }  \\  \\ 
( \frac{E}{z} )^{2}= \frac{p(1-p)}{n} \\  \\ 
n= p(1-p)* (\frac{z}{E})^{2}  \\  \\ 
n=271

This means 271 students should be included in the sample

attashe74 [19]
Mrs.Lombardo.<span>if you do the math out, 4/5 and 2/3 give you an LCD (Least Common Denominator) of 15, so this means 4/5 = 12/15, and 2/3 = 10/15. 4/5 is greater than 2/3. </span>

What does 5/7c=13/14 equal
natita [175]
To find c, you must isolate it.
To do this, you must divide both sides by 5/7, since that is being multiplied by c and you must do the inverse to it to cancel it out in order to leave c by itself.

5/7c ÷ 5/7 = c

13/14 ÷ 5/7
To divide fractions, follow these steps:
Step 1- Turn the second fraction, 5/7 in this case, into its reciprocal. This means swapping the places of the numerator and denominator.
5/7 reciprocal = 7/5

Step 2- multiply the original first fraction and reciprocal second fraction.
13/14 • 7/5
13 • 7 = 91
14 • 5 = 70
13/14 ÷ 5/7 = 91/70

Step 3- Simplify if possible.
91/70
Since 70 can go into 90, you can turn this into a mixed number.
1 and 21/70
Now simplify 21/70.
Both can be divided by 7.
21 ÷ 7 = 3
70 ÷ 7 = 10
So simplified, 91/70 equals 1 and 3/10.
As a decimal, this is 1.3.

So the answer is c = 1.3, or 1 and 3/10.

Hope this helps :)
