A university dean is interested in determining the proportion of students who receive some sort of financial aid. Rather than ex

amine the records for all students, the dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid. If the dean wanted to estimate the proportion of all students receiving financial aid to within 1% with 90% reliability, how many students would need to be sampled

Answer:

6546 students would need to be sampled.

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 z-score that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

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

The dean randomly selects 200 students and finds that 118 of them are receiving financial aid.

This means that n = 200, \pi = \frac{118}{200} = 0.59

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

If the dean wanted to estimate the proportion of all students receiving financial aid to within 1% with 90% reliability, how many students would need to be sampled?

n students would need to be sampled, and n is found when M = 0.01. So

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

0.01 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.59*0.41}{n}}

0.01\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.59*0.41}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.59*0.41}}{0.01}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.59*0.41}}{0.01})^2

n = 6545.9

Rounding up:

6546 students would need to be sampled.

Well it's not possible to find height with knowing cone B's height or radius .Steps provided below if you have pic you can solve by yourself.

  • Radius is similar in both cones.(Ignore it)
  • Height may be different but they must be similar.
  • The ratio of height to volume remains same .
  • Now put the values and solve for height of h

X-5y=-15x−5y=−15x, minus, 5, y, equals, minus, 15 Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation. (-5,(−5,left paren
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

<h2>The missing value is 2. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not properly written. Find the correct question below.

If x – 5y = -15 . Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation (-5, ____)

Let the coordinate of the variables be (x, y). Comparing the coordinates (x, y) with the given coordinate (-5, __), we will discover that x = -5. To get the y coordinate, we will substitute x = -5 into the given expression as shown;

If x – 5y = -15

-5 - 5y = -15

Adding 5 both sides

-5-5y+5 = -15+5

-5y = -10

Dividing both sides by -5;

-5y/-5 = -10/-5

y = 2

<u>Hence the missing value in the solution of the equation is 2</u>. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)
