7.1.35-T Question Help You are the operations manager for an airline and you are considering a higher fare level for passengers

in aisle seats. How many randomly selected air passengers must you survey? Assume that you want to be 95% confident that the sample percentage is within 3.5 percentage points of the true population percentage. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of passengers who prefer aisle seats. (Round up to the nearest integer.)​

Answer:

You must survey 784 air passengers.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of passengers who prefer aisle seats.

This means that \pi = 0.5, which is when the largest sample size will be needed.

Within 3.5 percentage points of the true population percentage.

We have to find n for which M = 0.035. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.035 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.035\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.035}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.035})^2

n = 784

You must survey 784 air passengers.

Chaney deposits $1435.73 into a savings account that pays a simple annual interest rate of 1.32%. How much interest will she ear
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Interest Chaney earns after 3 years is  $56.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount deposited = $1435.73

Simple annual interest rate = 1.32% = 1.32/ 100 = 0.0132

To find: Interest after 3 years

We know that the formula to calculate the interest amount is

Simple interest (S.I.) = \frac{Prt}{100}

where,

P is the initial amount deposited

r is the rate of simple interest in percentage

t is the time in years for which interest is to be calculated

Substituting the known values in the formula, we get

S.I = \frac{1435.73 x 1.32 x 3}{100}

    = 56.85

Hence the interest Chaney earns after 3 years is  $56.85

A biology class examined some flowers in a local meadow. Out of the 40 flowers they saw, 8 were perennials. What percentage of t
Sladkaya [172]
So first we want to say, 8 out of the 40 flowers were perennials.

8 out of 40 is 8/40, or simplified down to 1/5.

1/5 in percentage form is 20% because 1 divided by 5 = 20%.

Help with matrices please? Any wrong/not applicable answers will be reported and BLOCKED
marin [14]

m x H = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-25&37.5&-12.5\\\9\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Multiply 5 with this matrix  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&2\\4&8\\\end{array}\right] and we get a matrix \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-5&10\\20&40\\\end{array}\right]

Multiply the fraction  \frac{2}{5} with the matrix  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1&2\\4&8\\\end{array}\right] and we get \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-\frac{2m}{5} &\frac{4m}{5} \\\frac{8m}{5} &\frac{16m}{5} \\\end{array}\right]

Step2; Now equate corresponding values of the matrices with each other.

-5 = \frac{-2m}{5} and so on. By equating we get the value of m as \frac{25}{2}

Step 3; Add the matrices to get the value of matrix m.

Adding the three matrices on the RHS we get  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&9&-9\\\end{array}\right].

Step 4; Adding the matrices on the LHS we get the resulting matrix as H +

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&6&-8\\\9\end{array}\right]. Equating the matrices from step 3 and 4 we get the value of H as \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&-1\\\9\end{array}\right]

Step 5; Now to find the value of m x H we need to multiply the value of \frac{25}{2} with the matrix \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&-1\\\9\end{array}\right]

Step 6; Multiplying we get the matrix m x H = [ -25  \frac{75}{2}  \frac{-25}{2} ]
