A random sample of elementary school children in New York state is to be selected to estimate the proportion p who have received

a medical examination during the past year. An interval estimate of the proportion p with a margin of error of 0.06 0.06 and 99% 99 % confidence is required.

Answer:

The minimum sample size required is 461.

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:

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

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

An interval estimate of the proportion p with a margin of error of 0.06. What is the minimum sample size required?

The minimum sample size required is n, which is found when M = 0.06.

We don't have an estimate for the true proportion, which means that we use \pi = 0.5. So

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

0.06 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.06\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.5}{0.06}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*0.5}{0.06})^2

n = 460.5

Rounding up

The minimum sample size required is 461.

Please help!! I have to find x and y!!
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

X= 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the outside of the triangle always = 180

so you need to add up all the sides and equal to 180

5x+35+x+5+2x=180

add like terms

8x+40=180

get the x alone

x=17.5

Write the equation of the line with a slope of 2 that passes through the points -2 -7 and 5 7
Marat540 [252]
Hello!
Really, we could finish this problem without knowing the slope or just having one of the given points.
However, since they gave us the slope, let's take the easier way.

y = 2x + b
To find b, we can plug in one of the points. (it doesn't matter which)
7 = 2(5) + b
7 = 10 + b
b = 7-10 = -3

So, the final equation is y = 2x - 3 or answer choice D.

Hope this helps!! let me know if you have ANY questions.

Arden calculated the height of a cylinder that has a volume of 88π mm3 and a radius of 4 mm. V = Bh 1. 88π42(h) 2. 88π = 16π(h)
inysia [295]

Answer:

D. No, the \pi should have canceled out in step 4 making the correct answer 5.5mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the steps that Arden took were correct up until the last step:

1. V = Bh  ⇒  88\pi = \pi*4^2 * h = 16\pi h

2. Divide by 16\pi from both sides: h = 88\pi / 16\pi = 88/16 = 5.5

Arden forgot to cancel out the pi from both the numerator and denominator, so her answer should have been 5.5 mm, not 5.5\pi mm.

Thus, the answer is D.

Hope this helps!
