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

Find the volume of the cone. Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest tenth.
Leviafan [203]

Volume\,\,of\,\,cone=1527.1\,\,cm^3

So, Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find Volume of cone.

We are given:

π = 3.14

Length = 27 cm

Diameter = 15 cm

The formula used to find Volume of cone is:

Volume\,\,of\,\,cone=\frac{1}{3}\pi  r^2h

We are given diameter but we need radius in the formula

So, Radius = Diameter/2 = 15/2 = 7.5 cm

We need to find height of cone.

Using Pythagoras theorem:

h^2=p^2+b^2\\ (27)^2=p^2+(7.5)^2\\729=p^2+56.25\\p^2=729-56.25\\p^2=672.75\\Taking\,\,square\,\,root:\\p=25.93

So, Height of cone = p= 25.93

So, r= 7.5 and h= 25.93 and π = 3.14

Putting values in the formula:

Volume\,\,of\,\,cone=\frac{1}{3}3.14*(7.5)^2*25.93

Volume\,\,of\,\,cone=1526.62

Rounding off to the nearest tenth:

Volume\,\,of\,\,cone=1527.1\,\,cm^3

So, Option C is correct.
