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>

Two brothers, Mark and Charles, each inherit $31000. Mark invests his inheritance in a savings account with an annual return of
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$1,085

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount inherited and invested i.e principle = $31,000

Annual return for Mark on savings account = 2.9% = 0.029

Annual return for Charles on CD = 6.4% = 0.064

Now,

The Interest earned by Mark in 1 year = principle × Rate × Time

= $31,000 × 0.029 × 1

= $899

The Interest earned by Charles in 1 year = principle × Rate × Time

= $31,000 × 0.064 × 1

= $1,984

Therefore,

More Money that Charles have than Mark = $1,984 - $899

= $1,085

A ________ indicates how far an individual raw score falls from the mean of a distribution; the ________ indicates how the score
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

A <u>z-score</u> indicates how far an individual raw score falls from the mean of a distribution; the <u>standard deviation</u> indicates how the scores in general scatter around the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an incomplete statement. We are supposed to complete the given statement.

We know that z-score of a data set indicates that a sample score or raw score is how many standard deviation away from the mean. Z-score indicates the distance of a raw score is above or below mean in units.

Therefore, the correct word for 1st blank would be "z-score".

We also know that standard deviation represents the variation of a data set. It tells that data points of a data set are how much close or away from mean of the data set.

Therefore, the correct word for 2nd blank would be "standard deviation".
