A researcher wishes to be 95% confident that her estimate of the true proportion of individuals who travel overseas is within 3%

of the true proportion. a) Find the sample necessary if, in a prior study, a sample of 200 people showed that 40 traveled overseas last year. b) If no estimate of the sample proportion is available, how large should the sample be?

Answer:  a) 683   b) 1067

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

a) Given : Significance level :\alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}}=\pm1.96

Margin of error : E=0.03

Formula to calculate the sample size needed for interval estimate of population proportion :-

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.2(0.8)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2=682.951111111\approx683

Hence, the required sample size would be 683 .

b) If no estimate of the sample proportion is available then the formula to calculate sample size will be :-

n=0.25(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.25(\dfrac{1.96}{0.03})^2=1067.11111111\approx1067

Hence, the required sample size would be 1067 .

Answer:

(A)\ a=-6;b=4\\\\ (B)\ a=6;b=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+c

Where "m" is the slope and "c" is the y-intercept.

By definition:

1. If the lines of the System of equations are parallel (whrn they have the same slope), the system has No solutions.

2. If the they are the same exact line, the System of equations has Infinite solutions.

(A) Let's solve for "y" from the first equation:

3x-2y=-1\\\\-2y=-3x-1\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}

You can notice that:

m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\c=\frac{1}{2}

In order make that the System has No solutions, the slopes must be the same, but the y-intercept must not. Then, the values of "a" and "b" can be:

a=-6\\\\b=4

Substituting those values into the second equation and solving for "y", you get:

-6x+4y=-2\\\\4y=6x-2\\\\y=\frac{6}{4}x-{2}{4}\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}

You can idenfity that:

m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\c=-\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, they are parallel.

(B) In order make that the System has Infinite solutions, the slopes and the y-intercepts of both equations must be the same. Then, the values of "a" and "b" can be:

a=6\\\\b=-4

If you substitute those values into the second equation and then you solve for "y", you get:

6x+(-4y)=-2\\\\-4y=-6x-2\\\\y=\frac{-6}{-4}x-\frac{2}{-4}\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}

You can identify that:

m=\frac{3}{2}\\\\b=\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, they are the same line.

A recipe calls for 2 1/2 Cups of flour and four eggs. If only three eggs are used, how many cups of flour should be used? Give y
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: write the equation in the form of a proportion

2 1/2 is to 4 as something is to 3

2 1/2 / 4 = x/3

Then, cross multiply 2 1/2 x 3 or

5/2 x 3/1 = 15/2

Next cross multiply 4•X= 4X

Write as 4X = 15/2

Divide both sides by 4.

4X/ 4 = 15/2 /4

x = 15/2÷ 4/1

Divide by changing the sign to multiplication and inverting 4/1 to 1/4 like this:. 15/2. × 1/4= 15/8

Finally, 15/8 simplifies to 1 7/8 cups
