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

A random sample of 64 SAT scores of students applying for merit scholarships showed an average of 1400 with a standard deviation
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer: 95% confidence interval would be (1341.2,1458.8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 64

Average = 1400

Standard deviation = 240

We need to find the 95% confidence interval for SAT scores.

So, z = 1.96

So, Interval would be

\bar{x}\pm z\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=1400\pm 1.96\times \dfrac{240}{\sqrt{64}}\\\\=1400\pm 1.96\times \dfrac{240}{8}\\\\=1400\pm 1.96\times 30\\\\=1400\pm 58.8\\\\=(1400-58.8,1400+58.8)\\\\=(1341.2,1458.8)

Hence, 95% confidence interval would be (1341.2,1458.8).

vlabodo [156]

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of circle:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r².

Therefore we have x² + (y - 3.5)² = 12.25.

Solve for k: A=5k/7y
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

7/5 * A *y =k

Step-by-step explanation:

A=5k/7y

Multiply each side by 7y

A* 7y = 5k/7y * 7y

7Ay = 5k

Divide by 5

7Ay/5 = 5k/5

7/5 * A *y =k

Scrat [10]

Answer:

I really don't get what you're asking but in finding the new area 20 feet and 10 feet I found the area and the perimeter 14 cm2. I have found both perimeter and area so if you wanted an answer I guess it is in one of my answers.
