Answer:

The interval from the sample of size 400 will be approximately <u>One -half as wide</u> as the interval from the sample of size 100

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told the confidence level is  95% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the 95% confidence interval is dependent on the value of the margin of error at a constant sample mean or sample proportion

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

      E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }    

Here assume that Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \ and \  \sigma \ is constant so

     E =  \frac{k}{\sqrt{n} }

=>  E \sqrt{n} = K

=>   E_1 \sqrt{n}_1 =  E_2 \sqrt{n}_2

So  let  n_1 = 400 and n_2 =  100

=>   E_1 \sqrt{400} =  E_2 \sqrt{100}

=>  E_1 =  \frac{\sqrt{100} }{\sqrt{400} } E_2

=>  E_1 =  \frac{1}{2 } E_2

So From this we see that  the confidence interval for a sample size of 400 will be half that with a sample size of 100

What is 3y-13=35 in math

16. You add 13 to 35 which makes 3y=48. Then to get y by itself you have to divide both sides by 3. 48/3=16.

Write the equation of the line parallel to Y equals 2/3X +1 through the point (0,-4)  use slope intercept form
Andrew [12]

Writing the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, we have:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since parallel lines have the same slope, we can see that the slope of the line y = 2/3x + 1 is equal m = 2/3, so for our equation we also have m = 2/3.

Now, using the point (0, -4), we have:

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{2}{3}x+b \\ (0,-4)\colon \\ -4=\frac{2}{3}\cdot0+b \\ b+0=-4 \\ b=-4 \end{gathered}

So our equation is:

y=\frac{2}{3}x-4

y = 2/3x - 4
