Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Make it simpler: -6 + 4
-6 + 4 = -2

Why:

When you subtract a negative, it automatically becomes a positive. That's why when we were making it simpler above, we canceled out the two minus signs (subtractions sign and negative sign) to make a positive 4. That's why we added a positive instead of subtracting a negative.
A negative plus a positive will get bigger. That's why -6 + 4 = -2. The -2 is larger than -6 when you look at it on a number line. It's closer to 0 and the positives.

A person recently read that 84% of cat owners are women. How large a sample should the researcher take if she wishes to be 90% c

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

To find sample size, use the following equation, where n = sample size, za/2 = the critical value, p = probability of success, q = probability of failure, and E = margin of error.

$n=\frac{(z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} })^{2} *p*q }{E^2}$

The values that are given are p = 0.84 and E = 0.03.

You can solve for the critical value which is equal to the z-score of (1 - confidence level)/2. Use the calculator function of invNorm to find the z-score. The value will given with a negative sign, but you can ignore that.

(1 - 0.9) = 0.1/2 = 0.05

invNorm(0.05, 0, 1) = 1.645

You can also solve for q which is 1 - p. For this problem q = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

Plug the values into the equation and solve for n.

$n =\frac{(1.645)^2*0.84*0.16}{(0.03)^2}\\n= 404.0997333$

Round up to the next number, giving you 405.
