During an Apollo moon landing, reflecting panels were placed on the moon. This allowed Earth-based astronomers to shoot laser be

ams at the moon's surface to determine its distance from Earth. The reflected laser beam was observed by the astronomers 2.52 s after the laser pulse was sent. If the speed of light is 3.00 times 10^8 m/s, what was the distance between the astronomers and the moon? Based on the relationship Distance = Speed times Time, solve the problem.

Answer:

The distance between the astronomers and the moon was 7.56*10^{8] meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the speed is the distance divided by the time, so:

v = \frac{d}{t}

In this problem, we have that:

The reflected laser beam was observed by the astronomers 2.52 s after the laser pulse was sent. This means that t = 2.52.

If the speed of light is 3.00 times 10^8 m/s, what was the distance between the astronomers and the moon?

We have that v = 3*10^{8}m/s.

We have to find d. So:

v = \frac{d}{t}

d = vt

d = 3*10^{8}*2.52

7.56*10^{8]

The distance between the astronomers and the moon was 7.56*10^{8] meters.

Answer:

The value  is  n = 384

The correct option is a

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The margin of error is  E =  0.05

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of   is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally since the sample proportion is not given we will assume it to be

      \^ p = 0.5

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )

=>   n = [\frac{ 1.96 }{0.05} ]^2 *0.5 (1 - 0.5)

=>   n = 384

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as  

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }

Generally if the level of confidence increases,  the critical value of  \frac{\alpha }{2}  increase and from the equation for margin of error we see the the critical  value varies directly with the margin of error , hence the margin of error  will increase also  

So  If the confidence level is increased, then the sample size would need to increase because a higher level of confidence increases the margin of error.
