Let p be the proportion. Let c be the given confidence level , n be the sample size.

Given: p=0.3, n=1180, c=0.99

The formula to find the Margin of error is

ME = z _{\alpha/2}  \sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}

Where z (α/2) is critical value of z.

P(Z < z) = α/2

where α/2 = (1- 0.99) /2 = 0.005

P(Z < z) = 0.005

So in z score table look for probability exactly or close to 0.005 . There is no exact 0.005 probability value in z score table. However there two close values 0.0051 and 0.0049 . It means our required 0.005 value lies between these two probability values.

The z score corresponding to 0.0051 is -2.57 and 0.0049 is -2.58. So the required z score will be average of -2.57 and -2.58

(-2.57) + (-2.58) = -5.15

-5.15/2 = -2.575

For computing margin of error consider positive z score value which is 2.575

The margin of error will be

ME = z _{\alpha/2}  \sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}

= 2.575  \sqrt{\frac{0.30*(1-0.3)}{1180}}

= 2.575 * 0.0133

ME = 0.0342

The margin of error is 0.0342

Mrs. Piazza invested $8000 in a certificate of deposit that pays 3% simple interest for 4 years. How much will be in Mrs. Piazza
fomenos

Answer:

$8960

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

principal =  $8000

rate= 3%= 0.03

time = 4 years

Required

the final amount, we assume that this is a simple interest investment.

Step two:

A= P(1+rt)\\\\A=8000(1+0.03*4)\\\\A=8000(1+0.12)\\\\A=8000*(1.12)\\\\A=8960

The final amount in the account is $8960

A shirt is originally priced at $24.50. The shirt goes on sale for 30% the original price. How much money, in dollars to the nea
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The final cost is 1.07($17.15) = $18.35

Step-by-step explanation:

If the discount is 30%, we can find the discounted price by taking 70% of the original price (since 100% - 30% = 70%).  Substitute the equivalent 0.70 to calculate the discount price:  0.70($24.50) = $17.15.  This is the discounted price.

The final cost is $17.15 times 1.07, which includes the discounted price plus the 7% tax.  That final cost is 1.07($17.15) = $18.35.
