Sarah is doing research on the average age of first-year resident physicians. She wants her estimate to be accurate to within 1

year. From past studies, she knows the population standard deviation is 8.265. How many first-year residents must she survey to be 95% confident?

Answer: The number of first-year residents she must survey to be 95% confident= 263

Step-by-step explanation:

When population standard deviation (\sigma)  is known and margin of error(E) is given, then the minimum sample size (n) is given by :-

n=(\dfrac{z^*\sigma}{E})^2, z* = Two-tailed critical value for the given confidence interval.

For 95% confidence level , z* = 1.96

As, \sigma = 8.265, E = 1

So, n= (\dfrac{1.96\times8.265}{1})^2 =(16.1994)^2\\\\= 262.42056036\approx263\ \ \ [\text{Rounded to the next integer}]

Hence, the number of first-year residents she must survey to be 95% confident= 263

Find the surface are of this figure
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

If I am correct, I think the surface area is 448.

Step-by-step explanation:

First start by finding the area of all the sides

Front side. 12 x 10 = 120

2 triangle sides: 8 x 10 = 80, 80 x 2 = 160

Bottom side: 6 x 12 = 72

Back side: 8 x 12 = 96

Then add up the surface area

120 + 160 + 72 + 96 = 448

Btw I don't know if I am correct, but I think this is the way you find surface area.

Solve the simultaneous equations 4x+8y=-4 2y-5x=23
ad-work [718]

Answer:

x = -4,  y = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify the 1st equation by dividing each term by 4 to get:

x + 2y = -1

-5x + 2y = 23

Subtract to get: 6x = -24

x = -4

find 'y':    2y - 5(-4) = 23

               2y + 20 = 23

               2y = 3

                y = 3/2

Determine if events A and B are mutually exclusive.
gladu [14]

Answer:

A) Not mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P(A) = \frac{1}{4}

P(B) = \frac{3}{5}

P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{7}{10}

Required

Determine if they are mutually exclusive or not

Mutually exclusive are defined by:

P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) + P(B)

So, we have:

P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{5}

Take LCM

P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{5+12}{20}

P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{17}{20}

By comparing:

P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{17}{20} ---- Calculated

P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{7}{10} ---- Given

We can conclude that A and B are not mutually exclusive because:

\frac{17}{20} \ne \frac{7}{10}
