Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent segment is perpendicular to the diameter, so the triangle is a right triangle (not just based on its appearance). A property of circles is: a tangent is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency.

In the right triangle, one leg has length 12.6, and the hypotenuse has length 21.

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem: (leg)^2 + (leg)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2

Oh, and the diameter has length 2x!

$(2x)^2+12.6^2=21^2\\\\4x^2+158.76=441\\\\4x^2=282.24\\\\x^2=70.56\\\\x=\sqrt{70.56}\\\\x=8.4$

ou are interested in estimating the the mean age of the citizens living in your community. In order to do this, you plan on cons

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

$(\frac{4\sigma}{2.056})^2$ , rounded up, if needed, citizens should be included in the sample, in which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.96}{2} = 0.02$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.02 = 0.98$ , so Z = 2.056.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Within 4 years of the actual mean

We have to find n for which M = 4. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$4 = 2.056\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$2.056\sqrt{n} = 4\sigma$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{4\sigma}{2.056}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{4\sigma}{2.056})^2$

$n = (\frac{4\sigma}{2.056})^2$

$(\frac{4\sigma}{2.056})^2$ , rounded up, if needed, citizens should be included in the sample, in which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population.
