The solution as in where do they intersect? if so, it would be 0.0769 and -0.0769

Mrs. Carlyle bought a bag of nuts for her children. Phillip, Joy, Brent, and Preston took some from the bag.Phillip took 1/3. Jo

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Originally there was 324 nuts in the bag.

Phillip took 108, Joy took 54, Brent took 81 and Preston took 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the total amount of nuts N, and the number of nuts each child took by the initial of their name (Phillip will be P1 and Preston will be P2).

So we can write the following equations:

P1 = N/3

After removing N/3, the remaining nuts is (N - N/3):

J = (N - N/3)/4 = (2N/3)/4 = N/6

After removing N/6 from (N - N/3), the remaining nuts is (N - N/3 - N/6):

B = (N - N/3 - N/6)/2 = (N/2)/2 = N/4

P2 = 10

In the final there were 71 nuts remaining, so we have that:

N - N/3 - N/6 - N/4 - 10 = 71

N - N/3 - N/6 - N/4 = 81

N/4 = 81

N = 324 nuts

The amount of nuts took by each child is:

P1 = N/3 = 108 nuts

J = N/6 = 54 nuts

B = N/4 = 81 nuts

P2 = 10 nuts

An automobile manufacturer would like to know what proportion of its customers are not satisfied with the service provided by th

butalik [34]

Answer:

a) A sample size of 5615 is needed.

b) 0.012

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 zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

99.5% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.005$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.005}{2} = 0.9975$ , so $Z = 2.81$ .

(a) Past studies suggest that this proportion will be about 0.2. Find the sample size needed if the margin of the error of the confidence interval is to be about 0.015.

This is n for which M = 0.015.

We have that $\pi = 0.2$

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.015 = 2.81\sqrt{\frac{0.2*0.8}{n}}$

$0.015\sqrt{n} = 2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.015}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.81\sqrt{0.2*0.8}}{0.015})^{2}$

$n = 5615$

A sample size of 5615 is needed.

(b) Using the sample size above, when the sample is actually contacted, 12% of the sample say they are not satisfied. What is the margin of the error of the confidence interval?

Now $\pi = 0.12, n = 5615$ .
