Suppose you want to estimate the proportion of traditional college students on your campus who own their own car. From research

on other college​ campuses, you believe the proportion will be near 20​%. What sample size is needed if you wish to be 99​% confident that your estimate is within 0.02 of the true​ proportion?

Answer:

2,655 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score for a 99% confidence interval is z = 2.576

The standard error for a proportion p is:

SE = z*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }

For a proportion of p =0.20, in order to ensure a standard error of 0.02, the sample size 'n' must be:

0.02 = 2.576*\sqrt{\frac{0.2*(1-0.2)}{n}}\\n=2,654.31

Rounding up to the next whole student, the sample size needed is 2,655 students.

In ΔBCD, the measure of ∠D=90°, the measure of ∠C=77°, and CD = 41 feet. Find the length of BC to the nearest foot.
OLga [1]

Answer:

182 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are not given a diagram, always draw one for yourself (see diagram).

When you have a right triangle (triangle with 90° angle), you can use the trigonometry ratios, You can remember them using SohCahToa. It is read like this:

<u>s</u>inθ = <u>o</u>pposite/<u>h</u>ypotenuse           Soh

<u>c</u>osθ = <u>a</u>djacent/<u>h</u>ypotenuse          Cah

<u>t</u>anθ = <u>o</u>pposite/<u>a</u>djacent                Toa

"θ" means the angle of reference (the angle you are talking about).

We are looking for the length of BC, which is the <u>hypotenuse</u>. I labelled it "d" (lowercase D) because it is opposite to ∠D.

We know ∠C = 77°. This will be our angle of reference (replace θ).

The side we know is DC, also known as "b" (lowercase B) because it's opposite to ∠B. "b" is the <u>adjacent</u> side when θ = C because "b" is touching ∠C.

Take the general trig. formula that has <u>hypotenuse</u> and <u>adjacent</u>: (cosine ratio)

cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse

Substitute the variables specific for this problem.

cosC = b/d

Substitute the values you know.

cos77° = (41 ft) / d

Isolate "d" to the left side

dcos77° = d*\frac{41ft}{d}     Multiply both sides by "d"

dcos77° = 41 ft                          

dcos77° / cos77° = 41 ft / cos77°        Divide both sides by cos77°

d = 41 ft / cos77°                      Input into calculator

d = 182.261874....... ft           Unrounded answer

d ≈ 182 ft                       Rounded to nearest foot (whole number)

Remember d = BC. It's often easier to use one letter for calculations.

Therefore the length of BC is about 182 feet.

Whats answere y+2=-3 (x - 4)​
faust18 [17]

Answer:

 Slope = 6.000/2.000 = 3.000

 x-intercept = 10/3 = 3.33333

 y-intercept = -10/1 = -10.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is -10.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -4.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -4.000 - (-10.000) = 6.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

What  is 7 x 1,829 in expanded form
Hoochie [10]
The answer:  7 * 1,829 =  " 12,803 " .
______________
<span>The following is the explanation—"in expanded form" — (as per the specfic instructions— within this very question—as to how to get the answer:
</span>____________________
Given:  7 * 1,829 = ?  ;   Find the solution; using "expanded form" :
____________
  (7 * 9 = 63 ) ; +

    (7 *20 = 140) ;  +

    (7 * 800 = 5,600) ; +
___________________________________________
    (7 * 1,000 = 7,000)  ; 
___________________________________________
Now, add the the values together to solve the problem:
___________________________________________
       →   7 * 1,829 = 63 + 140 + 5,600 + 7,000  ;
                           { =  203 + 5,600 + 7,000 } ;
                           { =  5,803  +  7,000 }  ;
                             =  12,803 ; which is the answer.
________________________________________________
Alternately, write out the steps as follows—using "expanded form":
________________________________________________
→ 7 * 1,829 = ?
________________________________________________
               →  7 * 1,829   =  (7*9) + (7*20) + (7*800) + (1,000) ; 
________________________________________________
     →   7 * 1,829  =   63 + 140 + 5,600 + 1,000 ;
                            { =  203 + 5,600 + 7,000 } ;
                            { =  5,803  +  7,000 }  ;
                             =  12,803 ;  which is the answer.
____
   → {Now, is our obtained answer:  "12,803" ;  the "correct answer"—to the problem:  " 7 * 1,829 " ;} ??

   → Let us check:   {Note:  " 7 * 1,829 " ;  is the same as:  ↔ " 1,829 * 7 " .}.

→  Using a calculator, does:  "7 * 1829 = ? 12,803" ?? ; Yes! ;
 →  &, for that matter; does:  " 1829 * 7 =? 12,803" ?? ;  Yes! .
_______
Furthermore, let us check, using the "traditional format" ; 
 →  Does:  "1,829 * 7 =?  12,803 ?? " ; 
________
{NB:  We are multiplying 2 (TWO) numbers together; & 1 (ONE) of these 2 [TWO] numbers is a "1-digit" ["single-digit"] number; & the "OTHER" multiplicand is a "multiple-digit" [specifically, a"4-digit"] number.}.
______
NB:  Yes; using a calculator is sufficient.  Below, I simply provide an alternate method to confirm whether our "obtained value" is correct.
_____
  →  Does:  "7 * 1,289 = ?  12,803" ?? ;
  →  Using the "traditional method"; let us check;  as follows:
_____
               ₅  ₂ ₆  
       →    1, 829 
  <span>      <u>     *        7         </u>                                                                </span>
             12   8 03 ;  
_____
So;  does:  "12,803 =? 12,803" ?? ;  YES!  
  → This "traditional method" shows that:  "7 * 1,829" ;  does, in fact, equal:  "12,803".
_____
{NB:   Explanation of the steps used in solving the aforementioned problem using the "traditional method"—just for clarification and confirmation} :
_____
→Start with:  "7*9= 63" ;  Write down the "3" & 'carry over' the "6" ; {Note the small-sized digit, "6"; written on top of the "2"; {commonly done—to keep track);

→Then;  "7*2 = 14" ; then add the "small digit 6"; to the "14" ; →"14+6 =20" ;
Write down the "0" ; & 'carry over' the "2" ; {Note the "small-sized digit, "2"; written over the "8"; (commonly done—to keep track);

→ Then; "7*8 = 56" ;  then add the "small digit 2"; to the "56"; → "56+2 = 58" ; Write down the "8" ; & 'carry over' the "5" ; {Note the "small-sized digit", "5" ; written over the "1" ; (commonly done—to keep track);

→Then;  "7*1 = 7" ; then add the "small digit 5"; to the "7" ; → "7+5 = 12" ; Write down the "12" ; in its entirety—since are no digits left [in the multiplicand, "1,829"] ; to "carry over". 
____
We get:  "12,803" ;  which =? "12,803" ?? ;→Yes!
____
I hope my explanation of how to solve "7 * 1,829" ; using the "expanded form" is helpful.  Also, i hope my explanation—albeit lengthy— of confirming that  [<em>our</em>]  "correctly obtained value"—which is:  "12,803"— is of some help.

What is the answer to F(x)=6+3x
masha68 [24]

(F)=6+3F

We move all terms to the left:

(F)-(6+3F)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

F-(3F+6)=0

We get rid of parentheses

F-3F-6=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-2F-6=0

We move all terms containing F to the left, all other terms to the right

-2F=6

F=6/-2

F=-3

I don’t know if it is right but I hope this helps :)
