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

Answer:

Test statistic = -2.44

There is enough evidence to support the strategist's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : p = 0.41

H1 : p < 0.41

pˆ = 0.38

Test statistic :

z=pˆ−p/√p(1−p)/n

Z = (0.38 - 0.41) / √(0.41(1 - 0.41) / 1600

Z = - 0.03 / √0.0001511875

Z = - 0.03 / 0.0122958

Z = - 2.4399

Test statistic = -2.44

The Pvalue :

P(Z < -2.44) = 0.0073436

α - level = 0.02

If Pvalue < α ; Reject H0

0.0073436 < 0.02 ; We reject H0

Since Pvalue < α ; Hence, There is enough evidence to support the strategist's claim.

Part C Now try this one. Write a description of the partitioned function using known function types, including transformations.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Following are the function description to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given-question, three functions are used, that can be defined as follows:  

In function 1:

This function is also known as the modulus on the absolute value function, for example:

f(x)=| x| \left \{ {{x , \ \ \ x>0} \atop {-x, \ \ \ \x

In the given in the above graph, that is f(x) = -x , \ \  x

In function 2:

In this function, It is an algebraic function that is y=x^2

It is also a part of the quadratic polynomial function, and its value is y=x^2 , \ \ \ x> 0  

In function 3:

In this function, it is the cubic polynomial equation that's value is y=x^3

In the graph its value is:

y=-x^3\\\\and \\ \\\to y= f(x) \\\\ \to y=-f(x)\\
