A researcher wants to construct a 90% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school students in Seward County who

receive free or reduced-price school lunches. A state-wide survey indicates that the proportion is 0.50. Using this estimate, what sample size is needed so that the confidence interval will have a margin of error of 0.1?

Answer:

The sample  size is  n =68

Step-by-step explanation:

    The population proportion is  \^ p =  0.50

     The margin of error is  E =  0.1

From the question we are told the confidence level is  90% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.10

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.645

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} }}{E} ]^2 * \^ p (1 - \^ p )

=>  n = [\frac{1.645 }{0.1} ]^2 * 0.50  (1 - 0.50 )

=>  n =68

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: 54.4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the distance to the train station. If it took Carlos 4 hours to come back driving at 68 mph, the distance is:

= Speed * time

= 68 * 4

= 272 miles

This means that Carlos drove for 5 hours to cover 272 miles the first time. His average speed was therefore:

= Distance / time

= 272/5

= 54.4 mph

As x < 3, you would use the equation x^{2} -5
Plus in -4 for X and you would get (-4)^{2} -5
(-4)^{2} is equal to 16.
16-5=11&#10;
