Consultant plans a survey to determine what % of the patients in a particular hospital were satisfied with the care they receive

d after a major treatment. How many such patients should be surveyed so the margin of error for a 90% confidence interval is within .05? Suppose it is known from a past survey that such a % may be about 80%.

Solution:

Required margin of error  = 0.05

Estimated population proportion p = 0.8

Significance level = 0.10

The \text{provided estimate population proportion} p is 0.8

The significance level, α = 0.1 is z_c=1.645, which is obtained by looking into a standard normal probability table.

The number of patients surveyed to estimate the population proportion p within the required margin of error :

$n \geq p(1-p)\left(\frac{z_c}{E}\right)^2$

  $=0.8\times (1-0.8)\left(\frac{1.64}{0.05}\right)^2$

  = 173.15

Therefore, the number of patients surveyed to satisfy the condition is n ≥ 173.15 and  it must be an integer number.

Thus we conclude that the number of patients surveyed so the margin of error of 90% confidence interval is within 0.05 are n= 174.

horrorfan [7]
Larger = 2smaller + 1 ----(1)
smaller = 2 larger - 17 ----(2)

put (2) in (1)
larger = 2(2larger-17) + 1
larger = 4larger-34+1
-3larger = - 33
so larger= 11
then smaller= 2(11)-17 = 5

Find the exact value of tan(sin^-1((-12/13))
lidiya [134]

Answer:

<em>2.399</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trigonometry expression:

tan(sin^-1((-12/13))

We are to find the exact value

tan(sin^-1((-12/13)) = tan(sin^-1((-0.9231))

tan(sin^-1((-12/13)) = tan(-67.38)

Also note that tan(-theta) = -tan theta

tan(-theta) = -tan67.38

tan(-67.38) = -2.399

<em>The exact value is 2.399</em>

Graph f(x)=3x+5 and g(x)=3x-2
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Two parallel lines

Step-by-step explanation:

the slopes are the same: slope = 3

f(x) 3x + 5                          g(x) = 3x - 2

Pick at least three x values and find their corresponding values for y. Remember the f(x)  and g(x) represent y

                                   f(x) = 3x + 5                           g(x) = 3x - 2

                                    y = 3x + 5                              y = 3x - 2

let x = 0                       y = 3(0) + 5                              y = 3(0) - 2

                                     y = 5                                         y   =  -2

Ordered pair                (0, 5)                                        (0, -2)

Let x = 1                      y = 3(1) +5                                y  = 3(1) - 2

                                  y = 8                                         y = 1

ordered pair                (1, 8)                                        (1, 1)

Let x = -1                  y = 3(-1) + 5                               y = 3(-1) - 2                  

                                  y = 2                                        y =  -5

ordered pair             (-1, 2)                                         ( -1, -5)

Locate the ordered pairs and draw the graph on the lines.  

you will graph two parallel lines
