A researcher would like to estimate p, the proportion of U.S. adults who support recognizing civil unions between gay or lesbian

couples.
If the researcher would like to be 95% sure that the obtained sample proportion would be within 1.5% of p (the proportion in the entire population of U.S. adults), what sample size should be used?
(a) 17,778
(b) 4,445
(c) 1,112
(d) 67
(e) 45
Due to a limited budget, the researcher obtained opinions from a random sample of only 2,222 U.S. adults. With this sample size, the researcher can be 95% confident that the obtained sample proportion will differ from the true proportion (p) by no more than (answers are rounded):
(a) .04%
(b) .75%
(c) 2.1%
(d) 3%
(e) There is no way to figure this out without knowing the actual sample proportion that was obtained.

Answer:

Question 1:

(b) 4,445

Question 2:

(c) 2.1%

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 of:

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.

Question 1:

We have no previous estimate for the population proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5.

The sample size is n for which M = 0.015. So

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

0.015 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.015\sqrt{n} = 1.96*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*0.5}{0.015}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*0.5}{0.015})^2

n = 4268

Samples above this value should be used, and the smaller sample above this value is of 4445, so the answer is given by option b.

Question 2:

Now we find M for which n = 2222.

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

M = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{2222}}

M = 0.021

So 2.1%, and the correct answer is given by option c.

Answer:

1. Reflection

2. Dilation

3. Rotation

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey!

You can tell number one is a reflection because it didn’t change side or turn upside down or anything, it just flipped over to the other side.

You can tell number two is a dilation because it changes size.

You can tell number three is rotation because it rotated.

Hope this helps! :D

PLZ ANSWER APSP IM IN THE TEST RN!!!
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

x = 38

y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, you do

(2x + 5) = (3x - 33)

Subtract 2x from both sides to isolate x on one side, you get:

5 = (x - 33)

Add 33 to both sides to separate the normal number from the x, you get:

38 = x

From there, you plug x into one of the equations

2(38) + 5

The answer's 81, meaning that angle is 81 degrees. Using supplementary angles, you can find that angle ACD = 99, which you can use to find angle BCE. You'll get this equation:

(4y - 1) = 99

Add one to both sides to get rid of it, you get:

4y = 100

Divide by four, to get the y all alone:

y = 25

I hope this helped!
