31.Lefties Find the sample size needed to estimate the percentage of California residents who are left-handed. Use a margin of e

rror of three percentage points, and use a confidence level of 99%. a. Assume that pn and qn are unknown. b. Assume that based on prior studies, about 10% of Californians are lefthanded. c. How do the results from parts (a) and (b) change if the entire United States is used instead of California

Answer:

a. 1844

b. 664

Step-by-step explanation:

a. No estimate of proportion is given so we will assume:  

{p} = {q} = 0.5

For 99% confidence, z = 2.576

E = 0.03  

Hence, Required sample size  n = (0.5)*(0.5)*(2.576/0.03)^2  = 1844

b. {p} = 0.10

{q} = 1 - {p}

{q} = 1 - 0.10

{q} = 0.90  

For 99% confidence, z = 2.576

E = 0.03

Hence,  Required sample size  n = (0.1)*(0.9)*(2.576/0.03)^2  = 664

c. There would have been no effect on parts a and b if entire US has been chosen because minimum sample size required is not dependent on population size.

Which circles have a circumference of 24pi units?
dangina [55]
<span>The answer is C. a circle with a diameter of 12 units. The circumference of the circle with the radius r is: C = 2 r π. We know that circumference is 24π units. So: C = 2rπ and C = 24π units. Therefore: 2rπ = 24π. Divide both sides by π: 2rπ / π = 24π / π. Thus: 2r = 24. r = 24/2. r = 12 units.</span>

What is the order, from narrowest to widest graph, of the quadratic functions f (x) = -10x2, f (x) = 2x2, and f (x) = 0.5x2?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

f(x) = -10x², f(x) = 2x², and f(x) = 0.5x²

Explanation:

For a quadratic in standard form, f(x) = ax²+bx+c, the value of a describes the width and direction of the parabola. If a is positive, the parabola is open upward. If a is negative, the parabola is open downward.

If a < 1, a fraction or decimal, the graph is wider than the parent function f(x)=x². If a > 1, the graph is narrower than the parent function f(x)=x². The larger the value of a is (a > 1), the narrower the graph is. This makes the function with the decimal value of a the widest; the remaining graphs are in order of the value of a, least to greatest.
