Answer: 271

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we use to find the sample size is given by :-

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2

, where z_{\alpha/2} is the two-tailed z-value for significance level of (\alpha)

p = prior estimation of the proportion

E = Margin of error.

If prior estimation of the proportion is unknown, then we take p= 0.5 , the formula becomes

n=0.5(1-0.5)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2

n=0.25(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2

Given :   Margin of error : E= 0.05

Confidence level = 90%

Significance level \alpha=1-0.90=0.10

Using z-value table , Two-tailed z-value for significance level of 0.10

z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

Then, the required sample size would be :

n=0.25(\dfrac{1.645}{0.05})^2

Simplify,

n=270.6025\approx271

Hence, the required minimum sample size =271

Answer:

Hello! answer: 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for triangles area: base × height ÷ 2

Formula for squares area: base × height

5 × 3 = 15 15 ÷ 2 = 7.5 since there are 4 triangles that are the exact same I will just multiply by 4 so I have all the triangles so 7.5 × 4 = 30 now the square is just 3 × 3 so... 3× 3 = 9 now we add these up 30 + 9 = 39 therefore the surface area is 39

How do I figure out what 1/10 of 6000 is?
alisha [4.7K]
The way I like to figure out problems like this is to write it out like,

1/10 = x/6000
(One over ten equals x over 6000)

Then you find out how much you multiplied 10 by to get 6000. To do this you can divide 6000 by 10 getting 600. The rule "what you do to the bottom you have to do to top" in this equation. So since you multiplied the bottom by 600 you have to multiply the top by 600 as well. 600 times 1 is just 600.

So your answer is, 600 is 1/10 of 6000.

Hope this helps and isn't too confusing.

I need help on this can some one explain it and answer please!!!!

Answer:

4(a). C= 3 + 1.5x

b. 'x' stands for the number of times the cup is refilled.

c. 3 + 1.5 (5)= $10.50

d. My answer to part (c) makes sense because the price of the cup is $3, and I have to pay $1.50 for each additional refill, in accordance to the formula I wrote.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the cup is 3 dollars, but with each refill you get, you have to pay $1.50.
