Find the size of each of two samples (assume that they are of equal size) needed to estimate the difference between the proporti

ons of boys and girls under 10 years old who are afraid of spiders. Assume the "worst case" scenario for the value of both sample proportions. We want a 99% confidence level and for the error to be smaller than 0.02

Answer:

The sample size n = 4225

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use maximum error formula = \frac{z_{a} S.D}{\sqrt{n} }

but we will find sample size "n"

\sqrt{n}  = \frac{z_{a} S.D}{maximum error}

Squaring on both sides , we get

n  = (\frac{z_{a} S.D}{maximum error})^2

Given 99% confidence interval (z value) = 2.56

given maximum error = 0.02

n  = (\frac{z_{a} p(1-p)}{maximum error})^2

n≤ (\frac{2.56X\frac{1}{2} }{0.02}) ^{2}    ( here S.D = p(1-p) ≤ 1/2

on simplification , we get n = 4225

<u>Conclusion</u>:

The sample size of two samples is  n = 4225

<u>verification</u>:-

We will use maximum error formula = \frac{z_{a} S.D}{\sqrt{n} } = \frac{2.56 1/2}{\ \sqrt{4225} }  = 0.0196

substitute all values and simplify we get maximum error is 0.02

what is the equation in point-slope form of the line passing through (0, 5) and (−2, 11)? (1 point) y − 5
makkiz [27]

According to the question, the line is through the points (0,5) and (-2,11)

To calculate the slope using standard formula that is :

m = \frac{(y(2)-y(1))}{(x(2)-x(1))} = \frac{(11-5)}{(-2-0)} =\frac{6}{-2} = -3

Now the slope equation will be: m(x(2)-x(1)) = (y(2)-y(1))

y-5 =(-3)(x-0) = y = -3(x)+5

The slope-intercept form is:y = -3x+5

What is the equation of the line?

To represent the set of points in an algebraic form is known as the equation of line. The set of points represent lines in the coordinate system. The parameters can be calculated and those parameters are slope and y-intercept.

To learn more about the equation of the line from the given link:

What is the equation of a line passing through (-6, 5) and having a slope of 1/3 ? A. B. C. D. y = 3x + 7
stepan [7]

Answer:

y = 1/3 x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given; the line is passing through, (-6,5) and the slope is 1/3

We can get its equation;

We would take, a point (x,y) and the given point (-6,5)

Therefore; Since slope = Δy/Δx

Then;

(5-y)/ (-6-x) = 1/3

3(5-y) = -6 -x

15 - 3y = -6 - x

we get;

3y = 6 + x + 15

3y = x + 21

Therefore;

<u>y = 1/3 x + 7</u>
