Answer:

A. The larger the sample size the better.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this question:

We have to look at the standard error, which is:

s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

This means that an increase in the sample size reduces the standard error, and thus, the larger the sample size the better, and the correct answer is given by option a.

Q3. In a hydraulic lift, a 1400 N force is applied to a 0.5 m2 piston. Calculate the minimum surface area of the large piston to
blondinia [14]

Answer:

1.8m^2 approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P1= 1400N

A1=0.5m^2

P2=5000 N

A2=??

Let us apply the formula to calculate the Area A2

P1/A1= P2/A2

substitute

1400/0.5= 5000/A2

cross multiply

1400*A2= 5000*0.5

1400*A2= 2500

A2= 2500/1400

A2= 1.78

Hence the Area is 1.8m^2 approx

How to simplify integers
lina2011 [118]
I don't think that you can. Integers are either positive or negative real numbers without decimals, so there isn't anything to simplify.

Find the exact value of x
tresset_1 [31]

ΔABC and ΔCBD are similar. Therefore we have the proportion:

\dfrac{AB}{BC}=\dfrac{BC}{BD}\\\\AB=6;\ BC=x;\ BD=2

Substitute:

\dfrac{6}{x}=\dfrac{x}{2}    <em>cross multiply</em>

(x)(x)=(6)(2)\\\\x^2=12\to x=\sqrt{12}\\\\x=\sqrt{4\cdot3}\\\\x=\sqrt4\cdot\sqrt3\\\\\boxed{x=2\sqrt3}
