Suppose that prior to conducting a coin-flipping experiment, we suspect that the coin is fair. How many times would we have to f

lip the coin in order to obtain a 95.8% confidence interval of width of at most .14 for the probability of flipping a head? (note that the z-score was rounded to three decimal places in the calculation)
a) 217
b) 153
c) 212
d) 209
e) 150
f) None of the above

Answer:

153 times

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to flip the coin in order to obtain a 95.8% confidence interval of width of at most .14

Width = 0.14

ME = \frac{width}{2}

ME = \frac{0.14}{2}

ME = 0.07

ME\geq z \times \sqrt{\frac{\widecap{p}(1-\widecap{p})}{n}}

use p = 0.5

z at 95.8% is 1.727(using calculator)

0.07 \geq 1.727 \times \sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{n}}

\frac{0.07}{1.727}\geq sqrt{\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{n}}

(\frac{0.07}{1.727})^2 \geq \frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{n}

n \geq \frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.07}{1.727})^2}

n \geq 152.169

So, Option B is true

Hence  we have to flip 153 times the coin in order to obtain a 95.8% confidence interval of width of at most .14 for the probability of flipping a head

Using the grid box, draw a net for a rectangular prism with a length of 8 units, width of 2 units and height of 3 units
prohojiy [21]

Answer:  The answer is in the attached figure.


Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to draw a net for a rectangular prism  of length 8 units, width 2 units and height 3 units.

What is a rectangular prism? It is a a solid three-dimensional object consisting of six faces, where each of the face is a rectangle. The same cross-section along a length of a rectangular prism makes it a prism. We also call it as a cuboid.

As given in the question, a rectangular prism ABCDEFGH is drawn in the attached figure, where length is 8 units, width is 2 units and height is 3 units.

Gareth 30 students in a class and the ratio of boys to girls in the class is 2:3 calculate the number of goals
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

<em>There are 12 boys and 18 girls</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

There are 30 students in a class. Let's call:

x = number of boys

Since the sum of boys and girls is 30:

30 - x = number of girls

The ratio of boys to girls is 2:3, thus:

\displaystyle \frac{x}{30-x}=\frac{2}{3}

Crossing denominators:

3x = 2(30 - x)

Operating the parentheses:

3x = 60 - 2x

Adding 2x:

5x = 60

Dividing by 5:

x = 60/5 = 12

x = 12

There are 12 boys and 30-12=18 girls

The product of two consecutive integers is 90. Which equation can be used to find the two integers?
joja [24]
Two consecutive integers would be x and x+ 1
if you multiply them you have x(x + 1) = x^2 + x
if you want the product to equal 90 you get x^2 + x = 90
The first option is correct.
