Answer:

The sample size required is 910.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population proportion is:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{ \alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }

The margin of error is:

MOE=z_{ \alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }

Given:

\hat p = 0.16\\MOE= 0.02\\Confidence\ level =0.90

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 90% confidence level is:

z_{\alpha /2}=z_{0.10/2}=z_{0.05}=1.645 *Use a standard normal table.

Compute the sample size required as follows:

MOE=z_{ \alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }\\0.02=1.645\times \sqrt{\frac{0.16(1-0.16)}{n} }\\n=\frac{(1.645)^{2}\times 0.16\times (1-0.16)}{(0.02)^{2}} \\=909.2244\\\approx910

Thus, the sample size required is 910.

The green square is 15 ft wide by 15 ft tall.

The area of one green square is 15 x 15 = 225 square feet.

There are 4 sides plus the base : 225 x 5 = 1125 square feet for the green part.

One triangle has a base 15 feet wide and a height of 9 feet.

The area for one triangle is 1/2 x 15 x 9 = 67.5 square feet.

There are 4 triangles: 67.5 x 4 = 270 square feet.

Total: 1125 + 270 = 1,395 square feet.

Which of the following rational function is graphed below?​
steposvetlana [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B.  1/((x -1)(x -2))

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical asymptotes at x=1 and x=2 tell you the denominator will have factors such that these values make it zero: (x -1)(x -2). That is sufficient to identify choice B as the correct answer.

  f(x)=\dfrac{1}{(x-1)(x-2)}

there are 12 teams in the jayhook hockey league each team plays every other team twice per season, once at home and once away. L
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

58

Step-by-step explanation:

As there are 12 teams in the league and each teams plays every other team twice per season. so, the total number of matches in the league will be 132.

let the matches won by home team = 'x'

given,

number of matches drawn = 34

matches won by the away team = x - 18

Now, according to the question,

⇒ total matches = matches drawn + matches won by home team + matches won by away team

⇒ 132 = 34 + x + x -18

⇒ x = 58

A ride on the roller coaster costs 4 tickets while the boat ride only costs 3 tickets. Michael went on the two rides a total of
True [87]
Let x = roller coaster ticket
let y = boat ride ticket

x + y = 10
4x + 3y = 37

x = 10 - y
4x + 3y = 37
4(10-y) + 3y = 37
40 - 4y + 3y = 37
-y = 37 - 40
-y = -3
y = -3/-1
y = 3

x = 10 - y
x = 10 - 3
x = 7

x = 7 ; y = 3

4x + 3y = 37
4(7) + 3(3) = 37
28 + 9 = 37
37 = 37
