Answer:
A sample of 997 is needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of .
The margin of error is of:
A previous study indicates that the proportion of left-handed golfers is 8%.
This means that
98% confidence level
So , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of
, so
.
How large a sample is needed in order to be 98% confident that the sample proportion will not differ from the true proportion by more than 2%?
This is n for which M = 0.02. So
Rounding up:
A sample of 997 is needed.
A x = 0
using the law of exponents = 1
for (6² )^ x = 1 then x = 0
B note that = 1 ⇒ x = 1
2 → 2^8 × 3^(-5) × 1^(-2) × 3^(-8) × 2^(-12) × 2^(28)
= 2^(8 -12 + 28) × 1 × 3^(- 5 - 8)
= 2^24 × 3^(- 13) = 2^(24)/3^(13) = 10.523 ( 3 dec. places)
