Let one piece be x inches long then the other piece is 180-x inches long.
3x > 4 (180-x)
3x > 720 - 4x
7x > 720
x > 103 6/7 ins
the 2 pieces could be 107 inches and 180-107 = 73 inches
Answer:
We need a sample size of at least 383.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of
.
The margin of error is:

85% confidence level
So
, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
How large a sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level at the 85% confidence level with an error of at most 0.03
We need a sample size of at least n.
n is found with 
Then






Rounding up
We need a sample size of at least 383.
Answer:
73
Step-by-step explanation:
72 - 35 = 107
180 - 107 = 73
107 + 73 = 180
