A car insurance company would like to determine the proportion of accident claims covered by the company. According to a prelimi

nary estimate, 60 percent of the claims are covered. How large a sample should be taken to estimate the proportion of accident claims covered by the company if we want to be 98 percent confident that the sample percentage is within ±3 percent of the actual percentage of the accidents covered by the insurance company?

Answer: 1443

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula we use to find the sample size , if prior proportion is available :-

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2

Given : Percent of the claims are covered : p= 60% =0.60

Margin of error : E=3% = 0.03

Critical value for 98 % confident : z_{\alpha/2}=2.326

Then , the required sample will be :

n=(0.6)(1-0.6)(\dfrac{2.326}{0.03})^2=1442.74026667\approx1443

Hence, the required sample size = 1443

*HELP* Select the correct answer. What is the value of this expression when t = -12? -3|t − 8| + 1.5 A. 61.5 B. 13.5 C. -10.5 D.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

If we substitute -12 into this equation we get:

-3[-12-8]+1.5

-3[-20]+1.5

Because -20 is in absolute value, we simply just use 20.

Thus,

-3(20)+1.5\\= -60+1.5\\= -58.5

Joe has fraction 5 over 6 pound of bird seed. He needs fraction 1 over 3 pound to feed the birds daily. Which of the rectangle m
Semenov [28]

Since Joe has 5/6 pounds left and he only needs 1/3 pounds each day to feed the birds, therefore the number of remaining day’s worth of seed is:

days = (5/6) / (1/3) = 2.5

The remaining seed can run up to 2 and half days. This also means that after 2 days, he is remained with ½ of 1/3 pound. ½ of 1/3 pound is equivalent to 1/6 pound. Therefore the correct rectangle model to use is:

<span>Rectangle model divided into 3 equal sections, two sections are labeled one-third and one section is labeled one-sixth, equaling two and one-half days.</span>

Which two points satisfy y = -x2 + 2x + 4 and x + y = 4?
Arte-miy333 [17]
y=-x^2+2x+4 
x+y=4
y=4-x
4-x=-x^2+2x+4
x^2-3x=0
x(x-3)=0
x=0 or x =3

for x = 0 y = 4
for x = 3 y = 1

PLS HELP!!! BRAINLIEST
Alina [70]

Answer:

Using the visual, 20 blocks, but you still need to change it to match the problem's scale

Step-by-step explanation:

First just try to find a way out and count the blocks. That's what I did. The part I haven't done is scale it. As the starting and end points of the grid are given, but where they fall is not clear, I don't know what the block to number ratio is. Sorry, maybe ask a teacher, they shouldn't take off any points.
