Suppose you want to estimate the proportion of cars that are sport utility vehicles (SUVs) being driven in Kansas City, Missouri

, at rush hour by standing on the corner of I-70 and I-470 and counting SUVs. You believe the figure is no higher than 0.40. If you want the error of the confidence interval to be no greater than .03, how many cars should you randomly sample? Use a 90% level of confidence.

Answer:

<em>The sample size 'n' = 721</em>

<em>Number of cars 'n' = 721</em>

 Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

<em>Given  Population proportion 'p' = 0.40</em>

<em>Given Margin of error = 0.03</em>

<em>90% of level of significance </em>

<em>                                         </em>Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645<em></em>

<em>The Margin of error is determined by</em>

<em></em>M.E = \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} S.D} }{\sqrt{n} }<em></em>

0.03 = \frac{1.645 X \sqrt{0.40(1-0.40) } }{\sqrt{n} }

on calculation , we get

0.03√n = 0.8058

\sqrt{n} = \frac{0.8058}{0.03} = 26.86

squaring on both sides , we get

n = 721.45≅721

<u><em>conclusion</em></u>:-

<em>The sample size 'n' = 721</em>

<em>Number of cars 'n' = 721</em>

Which inequality can be used to determine the amount of money the family still needs to save?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The inequality equation is

(2,764 + x) ≥ 5,000

Solving further, we obtain

x ≥ 2,236

where x is the amount of money the Li's family still need to save.

Step-by-step explanation:

Li’s family is saving money for their summer vacation. Their vacation savings account currently has a balance of $2,764. The family would like to have at least $5,000.

Which inequality can be used to determine the amount of money the family still needs to save?

Solution

Let x represent the amount of money the Li's family still need to save.

It is given that the family already have $2,764 in their savings account and the family needs at least $5,000.

The total amount the family will have in total, after saving x dollars to join the already saved $2,764 will now be

$(2,764 + x)

This amount must be at least $5,000, that is, this amount must be greater than or equal to $5,000.

So, the inequality equation is then

(2,764 + x) ≥ 5,000

Solving further by subtracting 2,764 from both sides, we obtain

x ≥ 2,236

Hope this Helps!!!

NISA [10]
The least (or lowest) common denominator of 3, 16 and 8 is 16. That already points us to answer A.

Checking for each fraction:

1/2 * 8/8 = 8/16
3/16 * 1/1 = 3/16
7/8 * 2/2 = 14/16

Yep. Answer A.

Gabriella makes a profit of $.80 for every cup of coffee that she sells at her coffee shop she wanted to make a profit of at lea
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Gabriela needs to sell 4 more cups of coffee to make a profit of $75.

She sells 90 cups and makes $0.80 profit on each cup. That equals $72 profit.

90 x $0.80= $72

She wants to make $75 profit.

$75 - $72 = $3  profit short for the day

$3/$0.80 = 3.75 cups of coffee short  so to make her profit she must sell a total of 94 cups of coffee for the day or an additional 4 cups.
