Answer: 2172

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the sample size n , if the prior estimate of the population proportion(p) is known:

n= p(1-p)(\dfrac{z^*}{E})^2 , where E=  margin of error and z* = Critical z-value.

Let p be the population proportion of adults have consulted fortune tellers.

As per given , we have

p= 0.20

E= 0.02

From z-table , the z-value corresponding to 98% confidence interval = z*=2.33

Then, the required sample size will be :

n= 0.20(1-0.20)(\dfrac{2.33}{0.02})^2

n= 0.20(0.80)(116.5)^2

n= 2171.56\approx2172

Hence, the required sample size = 2172

Answer:

\frac{7}{10} |

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1:

2/3 + 7/10 = ?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(2/3, 7/10) = 30

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(\frac{2}{3} * \frac{10}{10}) + (\frac{7}{10} * \frac{3}{3}) = ?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

\frac{20}{30} + \frac{21}{30}

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

Then:

\frac{20+21}{30} = \frac{41}{30}

This fraction cannot be reduced.

The fraction 41/30

is the same as

41 divided by 30

Convert to a mixed number using

long division for 41 ÷ 30 = 1R11, so

41/30 = 1 11/30

Therefore:

2/3+7/10= 1 11/30

STEP 2:

41/30 + -2/3

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(41/30, -2/3) = 30

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(\frac{41}{30} *\frac{1}{1} ) + ( \frac{-2}{3} * \frac{10}{10} )

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

Then:

\frac{41+-20}{30} = \frac{21}{30}

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 21 and 30 using

GCF(21,30) = 3

\frac{21/3}{30/3} =\frac{7}{10}

Therefore:

\frac{41}{30} + \frac{-2}{3} =\frac{7}{10}|

If 43 of the 148 reams of paper purchased by a department are used, what is the percentage that remains?
Wewaii [24]
100%/x%=148/43
<span>(100/x)*x=(148/43)*x       - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>100=3.44186046512*x       - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (3.44186046512) to get x
<span>100/3.44186046512=x </span>
<span>29.0540540541=x </span>
<span>x=29.0540540541

</span>now we have: 
<span>43 is 29.0540540541% of 148</span>
