Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

To find sample size, use the following equation, where n = sample size, za/2 = the critical value, p = probability of success, q = probability of failure, and E = margin of error.

n=\frac{(z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} })^{2} *p*q  }{E^2}

The values that are given are p = 0.84 and E = 0.03.

You can solve for the critical value which is equal to the z-score of  (1 - confidence level)/2.  Use the calculator function of invNorm to find the z-score.  The value will given with a negative sign, but you can ignore that.

(1 - 0.9) = 0.1/2 = 0.05

invNorm(0.05, 0, 1) = 1.645

You can also solve for q which is 1 - p.  For this problem q = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

Plug the values into the equation and solve for n.

n =\frac{(1.645)^2*0.84*0.16}{(0.03)^2}\\n= 404.0997333

Round up to the next number, giving you 405.

The base of a triangular prism is an isosceles right triangle with a hypotenuse of
Setler [38]
SA= Lateral Area + Area (of base)

Lateral area = perimeter of base x height

An isosceles triangle has two congruent base segments. The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is (length of base segment) x (the square root of 2). I did the math for you (shown above) to get 5 as a base.

So 5 + 5 + square root of 50 is your perimeter

Multiply the perimeter times your height (8) and you get the lateral area.

Add your lateral area to the base area (triangle = 1/2 bh)

LA = 136.568...
Area of Triangle base = 12.5

Surface area = 149.068... square cm

Can somebody explain a function to me?
arlik [135]

Answer:

A function is a relation in which each input has only one output.

In the relation , y is a function of x, because for each input x (1, 2, 3, or 0), there is only one output y. x is not a function of y, because the input y = 3 has multiple outputs: x = 1 and x = 2.

I can't quite figure out what ( 7- 4n ) x 6 is with distributive property.
Tema [17]

Answer:

(42-24n)

Step-by-step explanation:

(7-4n)×6

take the 6 and multiply it to the integers in the paraenthesis.

so you take the ouside number which is 6 and multiply it with the first number which is 7 in the paraenthesis.

6×7=42

(42-4n)

then take the next number 4n and multiply by 6

4n × 6 = 24n

finally put it all together

(42-24n)
