Step-by-step explanation: The slope is the change in y (the rise) divided by the change in x (the run) between two points on the line. I'll pick 2 points: (-4,17) and (9,-22). Any two points will work, if it is a straight line. For these points, y, the rise, changes from 17 to -22, for a net change of (-22 - 17) = -39 for y. x, the run, goes from -4 to 9, for a change in x of (9 - (-4)) = 13.

The rise(y) over the run(x) for these points is thus (-39/13) = -3

The slope is -3

The estimate of the population proportion should be within plus or minus 0.02, with a 90% level of confidence. The best estimate

Rudiy27

Answer:

The sample size required is 910.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population proportion is:

$CI=\hat p\pm z_{ \alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$

The margin of error is:

$MOE=z_{ \alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }$

Given:

$\hat p = 0.16\\MOE= 0.02\\Confidence\ level =0.90$

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 90% confidence level is:

$z_{\alpha /2}=z_{0.10/2}=z_{0.05}=1.645$ *Use a standard normal table.

Compute the sample size required as follows:

$MOE=z_{ \alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }\\0.02=1.645\times \sqrt{\frac{0.16(1-0.16)}{n} }\\n=\frac{(1.645)^{2}\times 0.16\times (1-0.16)}{(0.02)^{2}} \\=909.2244\\\approx910$

Thus, the sample size required is 910.
