Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total= 40 students

boys +girls= 40

30 +girls= 40

number of girls

= 40 -30

= 10

Percentage of girls

$= \frac{10}{40} \times 100\% \\ = 25\%$

Alternatively,

percentage of girls

= 100% -(percentage of boys)

$= 100\% - ( \frac{30}{40} \times 100\%) \\ = 100\% - 75\% \\ = 25\%$

The brand manager for a brand toothpaste must plan a campaign designed to increase brand recognition. He wants to first determin

bulgar [2K]

We need to find out how many adults must the brand manager survey in order to be 90% confident that his estimate is within five percentage points of the true population percentage.

From the given data we know that our confidence level is 90%. From Standard Normal Table we know that the critical level at 90% confidence level is 1.645. In other words, $Z_{Critical}=1.645$ .

We also know that E=5% or E=0.05

Also, since, $\hat{p}$ is not given, we will assume that $\hat{p}$ =0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})$ in the expression and that will be maximum only when $\hat{p}$ =0.5. (For any other value of $\hat{p}$ , we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if, $\hat{p}$ is 0.4, then $1-\hat{p}=0.6$ and thus, $\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})=0.24$ .).
