Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation you must isolate the variable.

3x-9=39

So first, add 9 to both sides

3x-9+9=39+9

3x=48

Then divide both sides by 3

3x/3=48/3

x=16

A manufacturer of golf equipment wishes to estimate the number of left-handed golfers. A previous study indicates that the propo

Answer:

A sample of 997 is needed.

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 z-score that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is of:

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

A previous study indicates that the proportion of left-handed golfers is 8%.

This means that $\pi = 0.08$

98% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.02$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99$ , so $Z = 2.327$ .

How large a sample is needed in order to be 98% confident that the sample proportion will not differ from the true proportion by more than 2%?

This is n for which M = 0.02. So

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

$0.02 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.08*0.92}{n}}$

$0.02\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.08*0.92}}{0.02})^2$

$n = 996.3$

Rounding up:

A sample of 997 is needed.

Stephen says that the numbers 38 and 40 are relatively prime. Explain why he is incorrect in making this statement. (make a good

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

He is incorrect in this statement because 38 and 40 both have factors, other than 1 x itself. Prime numbers are numbers the only have 1 factor pair, and that is 1 x itself. Factors are the numbers you multiply to get the end result, and an example is 10x4=40. The factors of 40 are 8x5, 4x10, 2x20, and of course, 1x40. The factors of 38 are 2x19, and 1x38.
