Answer:

0.818335 ≤ p ≤ 0.86366

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Sample size (n) = 1000

Positive lung cancer = 841

n(p) = 841, p(p) = 841/1000 = 0.841

n(1 - p) = 1000 - 841 = 159

1 - p = 0.159

95% confidence interval

For a 95% confidence interval : z = 1.96

P ± z√p(1-p) / n

0.841 ± 1.96 * √0.841(0.159) / 1000

0.841 - (1.96 * 0.0115636) = 0.818335344

0.841 + (1.96 * 0.0115636) = 0.863664656

0.818335 ≤ p ≤ 0.86366

Answer:

$(a)$

$x = 18.5$

$y = 22.5$

$(b)$

$x = 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

7x - 19 and 3x + 14 are interior angles.

So:

$7x - 19 + 3x +14 = 180$

Collect like terms

$7x + 3x = 180 - 14 + 19$

$10x = 185$

$x = 18.5$

7x - 19 and 5y - 2 are equal angles --- corresponding angles

So:

$5y - 2 = 7x - 19$

Make 5y the subject

$5y = 7x - 19+2$

5y = 7x -17

Make y the subject

$y = \frac{1}{5} (7x - 17)$

Substitute $x = 18.5$

$y = \frac{1}{5} (7*18.5 - 17)$

$y = \frac{1}{5} (112.5)$

$y = 22.5$

Solving (b):

The triangle is right-angled.

So:

$5x + 3 + 2x + 17 + 90 = 180$

Collect Like Terms

$5x + 2x = 180 - 90 - 17-3$

$7x = 70$

$x = 10$

Answer:

x= 30

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 50 = 140

3x = 140 -50

3x = 90

x = 90/3

x = 30

The brand manager for a brand of toothpaste must plan a campaign designed to increase brand recognition. He wants to first deter

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

He must survey 123 adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

Assume that a recent survey suggests that about 87% of adults have heard of the brand.

This means that $\pi = 0.87$

90% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.1$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95$ , so $Z = 1.645$ .

How many adults must he survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage?

This is n for which M = 0.05. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.05 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.87*0.13}{n}}$

$0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.87*0.13}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.87*0.13}}{0.05}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.87*0.13}}{0.05})^2$

$n = 122.4$

Rounding up:

He must survey 123 adults.
