Answer:

sample size if he uses a previous estimate of 32​% is 523

sample size if he does not use any prior​ estimates is 601

Step-by-step explanation:

estimate E = 4 percentage = 0.04

confidence Cl = 95% = 0.95

previous estimate p = 32% = 0.32

q = 1 - 0.32 = 0.68

to find out

size of sample

solution

first we calculate z value for 95% confidence E = 0.04 is 1.96

from probability P(-1.96 < z < 1.96) = 0.95)

here z = 1.96

so in 1st part size of sample we know

E = z × \sqrt{pq/n}

put all value E, z p and q and we get n

n = (z/E)² ×p×q

n = (1.96/0.04)² ×0.32×0.68

n = 523

sample size if he uses a previous estimate of 32​% is 523

now in 2nd part we take p = 0.5

so n will be

n = (z/E)² ×p×q

n = (1.96/0.04)² ×0.5×0.5

n = 601

sample size if he does not use any prior​ estimates is 601

Reed uses 8 pieces of glass per square foot to make a stained glass window. How many pieces of glass will he need to make a wind
laiz [17]
To solve the problem posed in the statement we need to know the equivalence between squared foot and squared inches, and that is:
1 square foot = 144 square inches
So Reed uses 8 pieces of glass per 144 squared inches as well.
Now we can use a rule of three, simple and direct proportion to solve the question, it goes like this:
144 squared inches ------> 8 pieces glass
864 squared inches ------> x

x = (864)(8)/144
x = 48
Hence, Reed will use 48 pieces of glass to make a window that is 864 square inches.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5 + 1 13/16

O.5 = 1/2

(1+1)+(1/2 + 13/16)

2 + (8/16 + 13/16) = 2 21/16

A population of bacteria is initially 2,000. After three hours the population is 1,000.
lina2011 [118]

The population starts at 2000, so a=2000.

We also know that the population in 3 hours is 1000, so we can setup the equation:

     2000 b^3 = 1000

This gets us:

    b^3 = 1/2

And taking the cube root of both sides gives us:

    b ≈ 0.7937005259841

Rounding that to 4 places, we have:

    f(t) = 2000 (0.7937)^t

The radius of a circle is 14 meters. What is the circle circumference
seropon [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

HERE,

redius of a circle (r)=14 meters.

we know that,

\boxed{\red{\sf{circle~ circumference=2\times \pi \times r   }}} 

<u>According</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>the question</u><u>, </u>

circle circumference=

  • \tt{2\times \pi \times 14   }

      

  • \tt{2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 14   }  

    

  • \tt{2 \times \dfrac{22}{\cancel{7}} \times \cancel{14}}    

  

  • \tt{2\times 22 \times 2   }   

   

  • \tt{ 88~meters   }      

so, the circumference of that circle is <em><u>8</u></em><em><u>8</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>meters</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
