Answer:
a) n = 1037.
b) n = 1026.
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:

99% confidence level
So
, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
(a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage to be estimated.
We need to find n when M = 0.04.
We dont know the percentage to be estimated, so we use
, which is when we are going to need the largest sample size.






Rounding up
n = 1037.
(b) Assume prior studies have shown that about 55% of full-time students earn bachelor's degrees in four years or less.

So






Rounding up
n = 1026.
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
0.003
Step-by-step explanation:
6-3 =3 and 4-4 = is 0 and 8-8= 0 so the answer is 0.003
Answer:
the graph corresponds to function "D" 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the graph shown corresponds to an exponential "decay" (the function decreases as we move from left to right), the base of the exponent has to be a number smaller than 1 (one). So we examine the only two options that give such (options C and D which have fractions as the base - 1/3 and 1/5 respectively)
From there, we analyze which of the two functions satisfies the crossing of the y-axis at (0,3) which is clearly shown in the graph:
We study both:
function C at x = 0 gives:

while function D at x = 0 gives:

Therefore, the graph corresponds to function "D"
