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>

Rename as a mixed number in simplest form. 15 22/20
Semenov [28]
16 1/10
Because you have 15 and then for 22/20 it is a improper fraction so take 20 away from it to get 2/10 then add 1 to 15 for 16 and then simplify 2/20 to 1/10

Is there more wood in a 60​-foot-high tree trunk with a radius of 2.2 feet or in a 50​-foot-high tree trunk with a radius of 2.6
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

V₂=1061.85 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine where more wood is found, just find the volume of each log and see which one has the largest volume

knowing that the volume of a straight cylinder is

V=πR²h, where R=radius and h=height

V_{1}=\pi  (2.2)^{2}60= 912.31ft^{3}\\V_{2}=\pi  (2.6)^{2}50= 1061.85ft^{3}

As we can observe

V₂>V₁
