A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will use, he needs to estimate

the percentage of computers that use a new operating system. How many computers must be surveyed in order to be 95% confident that his estimate is in error by no more than two percentage points? a)Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems.

Answer: 2401

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n= p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2

, where p = prior population proportion.

z_{\alpha/2} = Two -tailed z-value for {\alpha

E= Margin of error.

As per given , we have

Confidence level : 1-\alpha=0.95

⇒\alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Two -tailed z-value for \alpha=0.05 : z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

E= 2%=0.02

We assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems.

Let us take p=0.5  [we take p= 0.5 if prior estimate of proportion is unknown.]

Required sample size will be :-

n= 0.5(1-0.5)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.02})^2\\\\ 0.25(98)^2=2401

Hence, the number of computer must be surveyed = 2401

<em>Answer:</em>

<em>n = 1067</em>

<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em />

<em>Since nothing is known, we would assume that 50% of the computers use the new operating system. </em>

<em>So, standard error = 0.5/SQRT(n) </em>

<em>Z-value for a 95% CI = 1.9596 </em>

<em>So, margin of error = 1.9596 x 0.5 / SQRT(n) = 0.03 </em>

<em>So, n = 1067 (approx.)</em>

<em />

<em>This will be your approximate answer : n = 1067</em>

I need answer for this math problem​
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

3h²

Step-by-step explanation:

factor or breakdown 3h² : 3 * h * h

factor or breakdown 3h³ : 3 * h * h * h

Now, we can see that 3 * h * h is common so 3h² is the gcf.

a student played a computer game 500 times and won 370 of these game. he then won the next "x" games and lost none. he has now w
a_sh-v [17]

So, this is a proportion problem. If we express 75% as a fraction (3/4ths), we have:

\frac{370+x}{500+x}=\frac{3}{4}

Since he won all of his games, we add the number won (x), to the number previously won and divide it by the total games played which is just the previous games played plus the number of current games played, so since he lost no games we still add x to the denominator as well. Solving this gives us:

4(370+x)=3(500+x) \implies\\ 1480+4x=1500+3x \implies \\ x=20

That x value is 20.

Answer:

67

Step-by-step explanation:

● -(x + 3) + (y - 5) + (z - 6)

● -x - 3 + y - 5 + z - 6

● (-x + y + z) + (3 -5 -6)

● 75 + 3 - 11

● 78 - 11

● 67
