The Centers for Disease Control reported the percentage of people 18 years of age and older who smoke (CDC website, December 14,

2014). Suppose that a study designed to collect new data on smokers and nonsmokers uses a preliminary estimate of the proportion who smoke of .31. a. How large a sample should be taken to estimate the proportion of smokers in the population with a margin of error of .02 (to the nearest whole number)? Use 95% confidence.

Answer:   2056

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for margin of error for population proportion  :-

E=z_{\alpha/2}\times\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

Given : Significance level : \alpha = 1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{0.025}=1.96      

The proportion of people smoke : p=0.31.

Margin of error : E= 0.02

Substitute all the value in the above formula, we get

0.02=1.96\times\sqrt{\dfrac{0.31(0.69)}{n}}\\\\\Rightarrow\0.0102=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2139}{n}}

Squaring both sides , we get

0.00010404=\dfrac{0.2139}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\ n=\dfrac{0.2139}{0.00010404}=2055.9400230\approx2056

Hence, the required sample size = 2056

0.8y+0.25= -0.4<br><br> Solve for y
disa [49]

Answer:

y = -13/16

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

0.8y+0.25= -0.4

<u>To Find:</u>

Solve for y

<u>Solution:</u>

Multiply both sides by 100

0.8y\cdot \:100+0.25\cdot \:100=-0.4\cdot \:100

Simplify

80y+25=-40

Subtract 25 from both sides

80y+25-25=-40-25

Simplify

80y=-65

Divide both sides by 80

\frac{80y}{80}=\frac{-65}{80}

Simplify

y=-\frac{13}{16}

Thus, y = -13/16

or in decimal form it equal y = -0.8125
