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.

In triangle DEF. DF = 16 and m<F = 45Find the length of a leg. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
kotegsom [21]
I'm ASSUMING this is a 45-45-90 right triangle and that DF is the hypotenuse.
With that said. Angle F = 45 means that angle  = 45 and angle E = 90 degrees.
There is only one rule for 45-45-90 right triangles:
 hypotenuse = √(2) * leg
Given the hyp = 16
16 = √(2) * leg
divide both sides by √(2)
16/√(2) = leg
Rationalize the denominator
16√(2)/(√(2)*√(2) =
(16√(2)) / 2 =
8√2

Sally can paint a room in 9 hours while it takes Steve 3 hours to paint the same room. How long would it take them to paint the
Archy [21]
You can solve this one by adding their rates, but you have to invert the numbers they give you to find the rate. Rate is measured in something per unit of time, and "per" indicates division. So the rates are: 1/3 of an hour (Sally) and 1/6 of an hour (Steve). So add the rates: 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2. (1/3 is 2/6, and 2/6 + 1/6 = 3/6). Since their combined rate is 1/2 of a room in one hour, it takes them two hours to paint the room.

This answer makes sense: It takes Sally three hours by herself; with Steve's help, she's faster, but not THAT much faster, because he's pretty slow. You can often spot-check word problem answers like this by giving it a common sense once-over. If we came up with four hours, that would clearly be wrong: it should take her LONGER if she's getting help.

What is a mathmatical expression? give an example
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

In algebra, we begin to see variables or letters that are used to represent numbers. An example of a mathematical expression with a variable is 2x + 3. In the expression 2x + 3, the coefficient of x is number 2, and it means 2 times x plus 3.
