Answer: 5/8 > 5/16

Why 5/8 is bigger? The reason why it's bigger it has more space.

Example: Cutting a pizza into 8 for 5 people.

Non-Example: Cutting a pizza into 16 for 5 people.

The people at the party will get the biggest slice which is in the 8

Serving 16 then they will get the smallest.

Because 5/8 is in less portions than 5/16, 5/8 is greater than 5/16.

Since we are not given any information about the proportion, we will assume the sample proportion to be 0.50

so,
p = 0.50
The Error is 10% percentage point. This means that on either side of the population proportion the error is 5% so E = 0.05
z = 1.645 (Z value for 90% confidence interval)

The margin of error for population proportion is calculated as:

$E=z* \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\ \\ 
 \frac{E}{z} = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\ \\ 
( \frac{E}{z} )^{2}= \frac{p(1-p)}{n} \\ \\ 
n= p(1-p)* (\frac{z}{E})^{2} \\ \\ 
n=271$

This means 271 students should be included in the sample

VARVARA [1.3K]

If 1/6 of the pan was left and there were 2 pieces left you just need to set 1/6 equal to 2/some number, this allows you to say that 1/6=2/x --> x/6=2-->x=12. My explanation might be a little poor since this becomes fairly fundamental later on but hopefully it helps.
