Use the given information to find the minimum sample size required to estimate an unknown population mean mu. How many students

must be randomly selected to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college? We want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within $2 of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be $99.
A) 8296
B) 6630
C) 9413
D) 13,302

Answer:

9413

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Error = $2 ; Standard deviation (σ) =99 ; α = 95% = 0.95

Zα/2 = Z0. 05/2 = 1.96 (Z probability calculator)...

n = sample size

Recall:

n = ((Zα/2 * σ) / Error)^2

Using the formular above, the sample size n can be obtained ;

n = ((1.96 * 99) / 2)^2

n = 97.02^2

n = 9412.8804

n = 9413

Katrina buys a 42-ft roll of fencing to make a rectangular play area for her dogs.

Answer:

(a) $l = -w + 21$

(b) Domain: $0$ <em>(See attachment for graph)</em>

(c) $f(w) = -w + 21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$2(l + w) = 42$

$l = length$

$w = width$

Solving (a): A function; l in terms of w

All we need to do is make l the subject in $2(l + w) = 42$

Divide through by 2

$l + w = 21$

Subtract w from both sides

$l + w - w = 21 - w$

$l = 21 - w$

Reorder

$l = -w + 21$

Solving (b): The graph

In (a), we have:

$l = -w + 21$

Since l and w are the dimensions of the fence, they can't be less than 1

So, the domain of the function can be $0$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To check this

When $w = 1$

$l = -1 + 21$

$l = 20$

$(w,l) = (1,20)$

When $w = 20$

$l = -20 + 21$

$l = 1$

$(w,l)= (20,1)$

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<em>See attachment for graph</em>

<em></em>

Solving (c): Write l as a function $f(w)$

In (a), we have:

$l = -w + 21$

Writing l as a function, we have:

$l = f(w)$

Substitute $f(w)$ for l in $l = -w + 21$

$l = -w + 21$ becomes

$f(w) = -w + 21$

If CX = 5 units, then DZ = ___ units

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

$DZ=4\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If CD is parallel to XZ

then

Triangle XYZ is similar to Triangle YCD

therefore

The ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

$\frac{XY}{CY}=\frac{ZY}{YD}$

we have

CX=5\ units, CY=25\ units, YD=20\ units,

$XY=CX+CY$

$XY=5+25=30\ units$

$ZY=YD+DZ$

$ZY=20+DZ$

substitute the values

$\frac{30}{25}=\frac{20+DZ}{20}$

$20\frac{30}{25}={20+DZ}$

$24={20+DZ}$

$DZ=4\ units$

Shade a model that shows 0.674

Ratling [72]

0.674 means that it 674/1000

which mean that if the model consists of 1000 squares, you have to shade 674 of the squares.

If the model consists of 500 squares, you have to shade 337 of the squares ( you get the number after dividing both 674 and 1000 with 2)
