A researcher is interested in the decrease in mean bone fractures in postmenopausal women treated with vitamin and calcium suppl

ementation. Assuming that the population under investigation has a standard deviation of 3 bone fractures, and that the goal margin of error of the estimate is plus or minus 0.4 fractures. How many women should be sampled to attain an estimate with 95% confidence

Answer: 217 women should be sampled to attain an estimate with 95% confidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s be the prior population standard deviation.

Formula to find the sample size: n=(\dfrac{z^*\times s}{E})^2, E=Margin of error

Given: s= 3

E= 0.4

Critical zvalue for 95% = 1.96

So, n=(\dfrac{1.96\times3}{0.4})^2

=216.09\approx217

Hence, 217 women should be sampled to attain an estimate with 95% confidence.

Please write the slope-intercept form for this: A line goes through the points (5,18) and (-3,-14)
balandron [24]

y = 4x - 2

The equation of a line in ' slope- intercept form ' is

y = mx + c → (m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the ' gradient formula '

m = (y₂ - y₁ )/(x₂ - x₁ )

let ( x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 18) and (x₂, y₂ ) = ( - 3, - 14 )

m = \frac{(- 14 - 18)}{( - 3 - 5)} = \frac{- 32}{- 8} = 4

the partial equation is y = 4x + c

to find c substitute either of the 2 given points into the partial equation

using (5 , 18) then 18 = 20 + c ⇒ c = 18 - 20 = - 2

y = 4x - 2 is the equation in slope- intercept form

Find the area of this rhombus
Vikentia [17]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The area of the rhombus is equal to 64 squared inches.

area=64in^{2}

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since we already know half of the length of the diagonals of the rhombus, we can calculate the area of the rhombus using the following formula:

area=\frac{diagonal_{1}*diagonal_{2}}{2}

From the image we can see that:

diagonal_{1}=8in+8in=16in

diagonal_{2}=4in+4in=8in

So, substituting, we have:

area=\frac{16in*8in}{2}=\frac{128in^{2} }{2}=64in^{2}

Hence, we have that the area of the rhombus is equal to 64 square inches.

Have a nice day!

If you graph a system of linear inequalities that have no overlap, what can you determine from the slopes of the inequalities?
NISA [10]
I have found the options elsewhere and they are as follows:

the slopes must be positive

the slopes must be negative

their slopes are equal

the slopes are opposite reciprocals.


From the choices, I think the correct answer would that their slopes are equal since they are parallel lines and never intersect.
