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

The perimeter of a rectangle is 22 inches. Find the dimensions if its length is 3 inches greater than its width.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Length: 7

Width: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a system of equations for this problem, where w is the width and l is the length.

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice its length added to twice its width.

2l+2w=22

The length is 3 more than the width:

l = w+3

We can now substitute in w+3 as l in the equation 2l+2w=22.

2(w+3) + 2w = 22

Distribute the first terms:

2w+6+2w=22

Combine like terms:

4w+6=22

Subtract 6 from both sides:

4w=16

Divide both sides by 4:

w = 4

Now we know that w = 4. We can now substitute this inside an equation to find l.

l = w+3\\\\l = 4+3\\\\l=7

Hope this helped!
