If we wanted to create a new 90% confidence interval from a different sample for the proportion of those with a two on one date

while keeping the margin of error at 0.05, what would the needed sample size be? Assume you have no prior knowledge of the proportion.

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

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval? f(x) = 3x2 − 2x + 1, [0, 2] Yes, it do
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Yes , function is continuous in [0,2] and is differentiable (0,2) since polynomial function are continuous and differentiable

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the Function

f(x) =3x^2 -2x +1

The two basic hypothesis of the mean valued theorem are

  • The function should be continuous in [0,2]
  • The function should be differentiable in (1,2)

upon checking the condition stated above on the given function

f(x) is continuous in the interval [0,2] as the functions is quadratic and we  can conclude that from its graph

also the f(x) is differentiable in (0,2)

f'(x) = 6x - 2

Now the function satisfies both the conditions

so applying MVT

6x-2 = f(2) - f(0) / 2-0

6x-2 = 9 - 1 /2

6x-2 = 4

6x=6

x=1

so this is the tangent line for this given function.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

$576.80

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mr. Juárez opened a savings account with an initial deposit of $560 and will not make any additional deposits or withdrawals. The account earns 1% simple interest.

We are asked to find the total amount that Mr. Juárez will have in his account at the end of 3 years.

We will use simple interest formula to solve our given problem.

A=P (1+rt)

A = Final amount after t years,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

t = Time in years.

Let us convert 1% into decimal form,

1%=1/100=0.01

P=$560 and t=3

A=$560 (1+0.01(3))

A=$560 (1+0.03)

A= $560 (1.03)

A= $576.80

Therefore, Mr. Juárez will have $576. 80 in his account at the end of 3 years. Hope this helps!
