(a) Find the size of each of two samples (assume that they are of equal size) needed to estimate the difference between the prop

ortions of boys and girls under 10 years old who are afraid of spiders. Assume the "worst case" scenario for the value of both sample proportions. We want a 98% confidence level and for the error to be smaller than 0.02.
b) Again find the sample size required, as in part (a), but with the knowledge that a similar student last year found that the proportion of boys afraid of spiders is 0.45 and the proportion of girls afraid of spiders was 0.58.

Answer:

(a) The sample sizes are 6787.

(b) The sample sizes are 6666.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The information provided is:

Confidence level = 98%

MOE = 0.02

n₁ = n₂ = n

\hat p_{1} = \hat p_{2} = \hat p = 0.50\ (\text{Assume})

Compute the sample sizes as follows:

MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{2\times\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}

       n=\frac{2\times\hat p(1-\hat p)\times (z_{\alpha/2})^{2}}{MOE^{2}}

          =\frac{2\times0.50(1-0.50)\times (2.33)^{2}}{0.02^{2}}\\\\=6786.125\\\\\approx 6787

Thus, the sample sizes are 6787.

(b)

Now it is provided that:

\hat p_{1}=0.45\\\hat p_{2}=0.58

Compute the sample size as follows:

MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p_{1})+\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p_{2})}{n}

       n=\frac{(z_{\alpha/2})^{2}\times [\hat p_{1}(1-\hat p_{1})+\hat p_{2}(1-\hat p_{2})]}{MOE^{2}}

          =\frac{2.33^{2}\times [0.45(1-0.45)+0.58(1-0.58)]}{0.02^{2}}\\\\=6665.331975\\\\\approx 6666

Thus, the sample sizes are 6666.

In triangle MNO shown below, segment NP is an altitude:
Effectus [21]

Answer:  C. Definition of an Altitude

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In triangle MNO shown below, segment NP is an altitude from the right angle.

Let ∠MNP=x

Then ∠PNO=90°-x

Therefore in triangle MNO,

∠MPN=∠NPO =90°  [by definition of Altitude]

[Definition of altitude : A line which passes through a vertex of a triangle, and joins the opposite side forming right angles. ]

Now using angle sum property in ΔMNP

∠MNP+∠MPN+∠PMN=180°

⇒x+90°+∠PMN=180°

⇒∠PMN=180°-90°-x

⇒∠PMN=90°-x

Now, in ΔMNO and ΔPNO

∠PMN=∠PNO=90°-x

and ∠MPN=∠NPO =90°  [by definition of altitude]

Therefore by AA similarity postulate, we have

ΔMNO ≈ ΔPNO

José paid $47.00 for ​​​​​​​4 movie tickets. Each ticket cost the same amount. What was the cost of each movie ticket in dollars
Nataly [62]

Answer:

$11.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of each,

you have to divide the amount paid by the amount bought

47.00 (amount paid) / 4 (amount bought) = 11.75 (total cost of each)

Carmen lives in Maine and pays 5% in sales tax. She just bought $70 in
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by analyzing the information we have.

We know that Carmen pays 5% tax on everything she buys, and has made a purchase of $ 70.

But they also tell us that there is $ 25 of that purchase that will not be charged with taxes.

Therefore, what will be charged with taxes will be:

70-25 = 45

Now we must know how much is 5% of 45 and that we can find out by multiplying 45 by 0,05:

45.0,05 = 2,25

Now that we know that the tax was 2.25, we just have to add it to the total purchase to find out how much Carmen paid:

2.25 + 70 = 72.25

Therefore, the total value of the purchase is 72.25.

This Question: 1 pt

\huge{ \mathfrak{  \underline{ Answer }\:  \:  ✓ }}

Angles forming linear pair are :

\mathrm{\angle EFG  \:  \: and \:  \:   \angle GFH}

And we know, they are supplymentary

  • \mathrm{\angle EFG  \:   +  \:   \angle GFH}  = 180 \degree
  • 3n +1 9 \degree+ 2n + 36\degree = 180 \degree
  • 5n + 55\degree = 180\degree
  • 5n = 125\degree
  • n = 25\degree

So, the measures of the given angles are :

  • \mathrm{\angle EFG } = 3n + 19
  • \mathrm{ \angle EFG = (3  \times 25\degree)  + 19}
  • \mathrm{ \angle EFG = 75 \degree+ 19\degree}
  • \mathrm{ \angle EFG = 94\degree}

And

  • \mathrm{ \angle GFH = 2n + 36}
  • \mathrm{ \angle  GFH = (2 \times 25\degree) + 36\degree}
  • \mathrm{ \angle GFH = 50\degree + 36\degree}
  • \mathrm{ \angle GFH = 86\degree }
