Answer: we need to survey 2285 Americans.

Step-by-step explanation:

When population proportion (p) is known, then the formula to evaluate the sample size( minimum) is given by :-

n=p(1-p)(\frac{z^*}{E})^2, where E = margin of error , z* = critical z-value.

Given: p= 0.61, E=0.02, Critical z value for 95% = 1.96

Required sample size: n=(\frac{1.96}{0.02})^2(0.61)(1-0.61)

=(98)^2(0.61)(0.39)\\\\=9604(0.61)(0.39)\\\\\approx$$2285

Hence, we need to survey 2285 Americans.

How do I describe the real zeroes of this function using Descartes's Rule of Signs?
Serhud [2]
The number of positive roots is the number of changes of signs there are, then decrease by 2 each time and stop when you get to 1 or 0

negative roots, sub every x with -x and reevaluate, count change of signs
decrease by 2 each time and stop when you get to 1 or 0

y=+2x⁵-x⁴-2x³+4x²+x-2
+,-,-,+,+,-
 1    2  3

3 or 1 positive roots

replace x with -x ( baically flip all signs of odd powerd numbers)

y=-2x⁵-x⁴+2x³+4x²-x-2
   -,-,+,+,-,-
     1    2

2 or 0 negative roots



3 or 1 positive roots
2 or 0 negative roots
