Answer:

a) $n=\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=4905.83$

And rounded up we have that n=4906

b) For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion $\hat p =0.5$

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=6724$

And rounded up we have that n=6724

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that the confidence interval for the true proportion is given by :

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$

Part a

The estimated proportion for this case is $\hat p =0.76$

Our interval is at 90% of confidence, and the significance level is given by $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . The critical values for this case are:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

The margin of error desired is given $ME =\pm 0.01$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Replacing we got:

$n=\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=4905.83$

And rounded up we have that n=4906

Part b

For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion $\hat p =0.5$

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=6724$

And rounded up we have that n=6724

Which point lies on a circle with a radius of 5 units and center at P(6, 1)?

guapka [62]

Answer:

B.

R (2,4)

soln

center(h,k)=(6,1)

radius (r)=5units

so

eqn of circle is (x-6)^2+(y-1)^2=5^2

2 2

or, 25=x +y -12x-2y+36+1 now , only the given point (6,1)satisfies the eqn so this point lies on circle
