In December 2004, a report based on the National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimated that 20% of all Americans aged 16 to 20

drove under the influence of drugs or alcohol in the previous year. We would like to update this information by calculating a 98% confidence interval. How large a sample is necessary in order for the bound on the error of estimation to be 0.04?

Answer:

542

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to find the sample size at 98% confidence interval in this question

E = 0.04

P* = 20% = 0.20

n = p* x (1-p)(Zα/2÷E)²

α = 1 - 0.98

= 0.02

To get Critical value

= 0.02/2 = 0.01

The critical value at 0.01 is 2.33

Inserting values into formula:

O.2 x 0.8(2.33/0.04)²

= 0.8 x 0.2 x 58.25²

= 542.89

The value of n must be an integer therefore the answer is 542.

Write an equation of the line that passes through the given points.<br> (-1,5) and (2, - 7)
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The equation of the straight line is 4x +y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given points are (-1,5) and ( 2,-7)

Slope of the line

m =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }  =\frac{-7-5}{2-(-1)}  = \frac{-12}{3} = -4

slope of the line m = -4

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

The equation of the straight line passing through the point (-1,5) and having slope 'm' = -4

y - y_{1} = m( x-x_{1} )

y - 5 = -4 ( x-(-1))

y -5 = -4 x -4

4 x + y -5 +4=0

4x +y -1 =0

<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>

The equation of the straight line is 4x +y = 1

<u><em>  </em></u>

What is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (1,-6) and (-3,4)?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

(-1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(1+-3)/2 = -2/2 = -1

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(-6+4)/2 = -2/2 = -1

(-1,-1)

The altitude above sea level of an airplane just after taking off from an airport on a high plateau is given by the linear funct
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Slope, m = 1100

y-intercept,c = 2491                                                            

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

y(x) = 1100x + 2491

The above gives the altitude of the airplane above the sea level in feet(y) after x minutes since the take off.

Comparing the above equation, to a general linear equation, we have,

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Comparing we get,

Slope, m = 1100

y-intercept,c = 2491

Interpretation:

  • The slope of equation tells us about the rate of change of function with unit increase in value of x. Thus, the altitude of airplane increases 1100 feet when the time increases by 1 minute.
  • The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0. Thus, the altitude of airplane is 2491 feet when the airplane has not taken off.
