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.

14+14p=21 solve for p
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to solve the following equation for <em>p. </em>Let's first switch 14 and 14p around so we have 14p + 14 = 21.

<em />

To solve this equation for <em>p</em>, we must first isolate the term containing <em>p</em> which in this case is 14p.

Since 14 is being added to 14p, we need to subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.

14p + 14 = 21

        -14   -14

On the left side of the equation, the positive 14 and negative 14 cancel each other out and we have 14p. On the right side of the equation, we hav 21 - 14 which gives us 7.

Now we have the equation 14p = 7.

Since <em>p</em> is being multiplied by 14, to get <em>p</em> by itself, we divide both sides of the equation by 14.

On the left side of the equation the 14's cancel and we are left with <em>p</em>. On the right side of the equation, 7 divided by 14 is 0.5 which is our answer.

Therefore, p = 0.5 which is the solution for our equation.

Remember, you can always check your solution by substituting a number in for a variable to make sure the equation is true.
