Answer:

The estimate of a population proportion is approximately 541.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve the the problem by using the formula for minimum sample needed for interval estimate of a population proportion which is given by the formula

n = pq ((Z/2) / E)^2

As, p is not defined so we use the standard p and q which is 0.5 and 0.5.

The reason for this is we have to choose form 0.1 to 0.9 both values of p and q, we will find the maximum value of pq occurs when they both are 0.5.

Next, we will find the value of (Z/2) by looking at the Z-table, we will find that at 98% confidence (Z/2) = 2.326. Now we start substituting the values in the above formula

n = (0.5)×(0.5) × (2.326/0.05)^2

n = 541.027

n ≅ 541.

Elza [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  90° CCW

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of BA is -1/3. The slope of BA' is 3, so the slopes are opposite reciprocals of one another. These segments are perpendicular, meaning the angle between them is 90°.

Point A' has been rotated 90° CCW about point B.

Suppose f(x) = x2 and g(x)= (1/4x)2Which statement best compares the
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the variable <em>b</em> is manipulated in f(x) = a(bx - h)² + k, we are dealing with horizontal compression and stretching. Since b < 1, that means the graph is being horizontally compressed.

NEED HELP WITH MY MATH
nataly862011 [7]
So for this problem we can recognize that it's a system of linear equations

recall the slope intercept form of a line
y = mx + b
given the info we can write two linear equations one for John and one for Lyndon

take a look at johns part of the question. we can see that his bank starts with 100 dollars and every day after he saves 20 dollars. Now we can see that the 100 is the y intercept or b of our equation because it's our initial amount and the rate of change or m of the equation is 25. filling in this info we get this as johns equation:

y = 25x + 100
now we can do the same for Lydon, she has 50 dollars to start and saves 30 dollars a day. So using the same steps as we did for John we get the equation
y = 30x + 50
now we can do a little trick, to find out when their bank amounts will be equal we set both equations equal to each other (we're just substituting y into the equation) So we get
25x + 100 = 30x + 50
now let's clean this up and solve for X with some algebra
100 = 30x - 25x + 50
subtract 25x
100 = 5x + 20
combine like terms
80 = 5x
subtract 20
x = 16
divide off 5 to get your x value

now we're almost done we just need to plug X back into any of our two equations we made at the beginning of the problem lets use johns equation and plug in 16 because as we found out x=16

y = 25(16) + 100
multiply and add to get
y = 500

now that we know
x = 16 \: \: and \: \: y = 500
we can finalize our answer answer to the system as a coordinate (x,y) and we'll get

(16,500)

since the questions asks after how many weeks though we would say 16 or the x value because in a time related problem, time is always the x value so the final answer is

16 \: \: weeks
