90The information that you'd need in determining sample size when the standard deviation is unknown is:

z-value for the given level of confidence ⇒ The level of confidence is 90% and the z-value by convention is 1.645

The margin error (E) = 4%

The proportion of the population that you'd expect to vote for Yi. If this information isn't provided, use 50%. We call this value, p, the probability of success.

The probability of not success is q = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

STEP 1:
Half the margin error = 0.04 ÷ 2 = 0.02

STEP 2:
Multiply the probability of success by the probability of fail = 0.5 × 0.5 = 0.25

STEP 3: 
Divide z-score by half of E = 1.645 ÷ 0.02 = 82.25
Then square the answer = 82.25² = 6765 rounded to the nearest integer)

STEP 4: 
Multiply the answer from STEP 2 by the answer from STEP 4
0.25 × 6765 = 1691 (rounded to the nearest integer)

Answer: Minimum Sample Size is 1691

What is the fewest number of quarters, nickels, and pennies that can be fairly exchanged for 2 quarters, 6 nickels, and 9 pennie
adoni [48]

Answer:

Your answer is 3 quarters, 2 nickels, and 4 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

2 quarters plus 6 nickels plus 9 pennies is equal to 89 cents. So if we subtract 75(3 quarters) we get 14 which is less than 25 therefore we must only use nickels and pennies from now on. If we take 14 and subtract 10(2 nickels) we get 4 which less than 5 leaving us only to use pennies, which one a piece so it must be 4 pennies. Hope this helps!
