Five hundred randomly selected adult residents in Sacramento are surveyed to determine whether they believe children should have

limited smartphone access. Of the 500 people surveyed, 381 responded yes - they believe children should have limited smartphone access.
You wish to estimate a population mean y with a known population standard devi- ation o = 3.5. If you want the error bound E of a 95% confidence interval to be less than 0.001, how large must the sample size n be?

Answer:

The sample size must be of 47,059,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a p-value of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation:

\sigma = 3.5

If you want the error bound E of a 95% confidence interval to be less than 0.001, how large must the sample size n be?

This is n for which M = 0.001. So

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.001 = 1.96\frac{3.5}{\sqrt{n}}

0.001\sqrt{n} = 1.96*3.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*3.5}{0.001}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*3.5}{0.001})^2

n = 47059600

The sample size must be of 47,059,600.

Between permanent life insurance and term life insurance, which typically has the lower premium and why?
adoni [48]

Term life insurance has the lower premium because term life insurance pays the face value to your beneficiary if you die within a certain set period of time, whereas whole life insurance covers you your entire life. (Option A)

<h3>What is insurance?</h3>

Insurance is when a third-party (the insurer) promises to indemnify another party (the insured) for losses they might suffer in the future in exchange for agreed upon payments.

Permanent life insurance is a type of insurance that provides a coverage that never expires. The person with a permanent life insurance is covered until he or she passes on. Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that has a fixed and guaranteed premium and a fixed death benefit.

Term life insurance is a type of insurance that provides coverage to a person only for a scheduled period of time. For example, a person who buys a 10 year term life insurance, the person's insurance only lasts for 10 years. If the person passes on within the 10 years, his beneficiary receives payments. If the person passes on after 10 years, his beneficiary does not receive any payments.

How do you do elimination in systems of equations?
VMariaS [17]
Well, for solving system of equations, we can use either substitution where we plug one equation into the other, or elimination where we combine the equations.


- Using elimination, you would to eliminate one variable from both equations, so you automatically would get one equation with one variable!
