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.

A line that passes through the point (1, –1) and parallel to another line whose slope is 1.
Mars2501 [29]
Parallel lines have same slope so so far the new equation looks like this
y = 1x + b \\ y = mx + b
now you plug in you points or coordinates to find b or solve for the y-intercept
- 1  = 1(1) + b
- 1 = 1 + b
- 1 = 1 + b \\  - 1 =  - 1
- 2 = b
now that you have your b your final solution is
y = 1x - 2 \: or \: y = x - 2

Consider the following.y = 5xe?x, y = 0, x = 2; about the y-axis(a) Set up an integral for the volume V of the solid obtained by
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The volume for the solid of revolution is V=\displaystyle 10\pi\int_0^2 x^2e^x\, dx and its value is 401.43623.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the function is rotating over the y-axis and it is a function in terms of x we can use Shell integration which general formula is given by

V=2\pi \int\limits^a_b {x f(x)} \, dx

a) Setting up the integral.

We are given one end point for x which is x = 2, but we are not given the other, so we can set y = 0 on the given equation to get:

0  = 5xe^x

Notice that the exponential function is not going to be equal to 0, so we get the other endpoint for the interval as

0 = 5x

which give us

x=0

Thus we integate from x = 0 to 2, so we will get:

V=\displaystyle 2\pi\int_0^2 x (5x)e^x\, dx

And we can simplify that to

V=\displaystyle 10\pi\int_0^2 x^2e^x\, dx

b) Using a calculator to evaluate the integral.

We can use a calculator to write the integral including the interval to get:

V = 20 \left(e^2-1\right) \pi

And its value rounded to 5 decimal places is

V=401.43623
