Two times the least of three consecutive odd integers exceeds three times the greatest by 15

Mariana [72]

Three consecutive odd integers would be x, x+2, and x+4 assuming x is an odd integer. The smallest of these is x. Two times x is 2x. The greatest integer is x+4. Three times this is 3 (x+4), and if you distribute you get 3x+12. If 2x exceeds this by 15, you would make it 3x+12-15. If you add the like terms, 12+(-15) is -3. So, you have 2x=3x-3. Subtract 3x from both sides. 2x-3x is -1x, or -x. Now we have -x=-3. Divide by -, or -1 on both sides. Now we have x=3. You can substitute x for 3 for any of the consecutive odd integers to find their value.

You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population proportion. At this point in time, you have no reasonable estimate for the

Vesna [10]

Answer:

A sample size of at least 1,353,733 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , 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 .

The margin of error is:

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

98% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.02$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99$ , so $Z = 2.327$ .

You would like to be 98% confident that you esimate is within 0.1% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?

We need a sample size of at least n.

n is found when M = 0.001.

Since we don't have an estimate for the proportion, we use the worst case scenario, that is $\pi = 0.5$

So

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

$0.001 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}$

$0.001\sqrt{n} = 2.327*0.5$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327*0.5}{0.001}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.327*0.5}{0.001})^{2}$

$n = 1353732.25$

Rounding up

A sample size of at least 1,353,733 is required.

A dollar bill is worth _____ pennies. When written in decimal format, each penny can be written as ______ of a dollar. 100:10 10

erik [133]

Hey there! :D

A dollar bill is worth 100 pennies.

$1.00-> .01*100 <=== same thing

When written in decimal format, each penny can be written as 100:1, because there are 100 pennies in a dollar. One penny would just be one out of 100.

I hope this helps!
