When you calculate the sample size for a proportion, you use an estimate for the population proportion; namely . A conservative
1 answer:
Answer: A. 0.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find the sample size :
, where p= Prior estimate of population proportion.
E= Margin of error
z* =Critical z-value.
When , we do not have prior estimate of population proportion , we use p= 0.5 because at p=0.5 it gives the maximum same sample size for the corresponding confidence interval and margin of error.
Therefore , the conservative value for n can be obtained by using p=0.50.
Therefore , the correct answer is A.0.50 .

I set this up as an inequality, 
. If you take the cubed root of 800, you get the lower bound of the side length, which is 9.2. Then I just worked my way up until I hit the first number that put me over a volume of 800. That number is 9.29, because 9.28 cubed is 799.1 (not high enough) and 9.29 cubed is 801.8. Therefore, the bounds of the sides exist within a conjunction: 
. That's the best I could come up with to help on that one. Wasn't sure if there was another method you were taught at school. I just used common sense more than any rule.
