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.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

8x + 6 + 4 = 3x - (2x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

When Gio applies the distributive property, the equation above is the result. Naturally, I look at the 1st parenthesis I see and start the 1st distributive property there first. The 2nd distributive property would be the other parenthesis where you multiply by -1, so you would get 8x + 6 + 4 = 3x - 2x - 4

Ahat [919]
So 6+3 is 9 right? So let's just say it's 9:37 with a 45 min ride. 60 minutes are in a hour. 60 - 37 = 23. We have 23 minutes left until 10:00. 45- 23 = 22. Therefore it'd be 10:22 p.m.
