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

Given P(x) = 2x3+ 3x2- x + 4, find P(0) and P(-2).
pshichka [43]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  P(0) = 4

  P(-2) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the value where the variable is and do the arithmetic.

  P(0) = 2·0³ +3·0² -0 +4

  P(0) = 4

__

  P(-2) = 2·(-2)³ +3·(-2)² -(-2) +4 = 2(-8) +3(4) +2 +4

  P(-2) = -16 +12 +2 +4

  P(-2) = 2

Simplify the following
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

try 6^(-1) = 0.17 or 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 in decimal form is 1.66666... which technically should round to 1.7

if 1.7 isn't the right answer try righting it in exact form, 1/6 where there is no estimation
