The hours a week people spend answering and sending emails is normally distributed with a standard deviation of Ï = 150 minutes.

How large of a sample size would you need to estimate the mean number of minutes people spend answering and sending emails with an error of 1 minutes with 99% confidence? What would be the practical problem with attempting to find this confidence interval?

Answer:

sample size n would be 149305 large

Value of n (149305) is too high, this will be the practical problem with attempting to find this confidence interval

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

standard deviation α = 150 min

confidence interval = 99%

since; p( -2.576 < z < 2.576) = 0.99

so z-value for 99% CI is 2.576

E = 1 minutes

Therefore

n = [(z × α) / E ]²

so we substitute

n = [(2.576 × 150) / 1 ]²

n = [ 386.4 ]²

n = 149304.96 ≈ 149305

Therefore sample size would be 149305 large

Value of n is too high, that would be the practical problem with attempting to find this confidence interval

3. Which expression is equivalent to log532?
saul85 [17]

Answer: The Nth power xN of a number x was originally defined as x multiplied by itself, until there is a total of N identical factors. By means of various generalizations, the definition can be extended for any value of N that is any real number.

(2) The logarithm (to base 10) of any number x is defined as the power N such that

x = 10N

(3) Properties of logarithms:

(a) The logarithm of a product P.Q is the sum of the logarithms of the factors

log (PQ) = log P + log Q

(b) The logarithm of a quotient P / Q is the difference of the logarithms of the factors

log (P / Q) = log P – log Q

(c) The logarithm of a number P raised to power Q is Q.logP

log[PQ] = Q.logP

Find the area of the shaded region ​
o-na [289]

so hmmm let's get the area of the whole hexagon, and then get the area of the circle inside it, then <u>subtract the area of the circle from that of the hexagon's</u>, what's leftover is what we didn't subtract, namely the shaded part.

\textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{4}ns^2\cot\stackrel{\stackrel{degrees}{\downarrow }}{\left( \frac{180}{n} \right)}~ \begin{cases} n=\textit{number of sides}\\ s=\textit{length of a side}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ n=\stackrel{hexagon}{6}\\ s=\frac{9}{2} \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{4}(6)\left( \cfrac{9}{2} \right)^2 \cot\left( \cfrac{180}{6} \right)

A=\cfrac{1}{4}(6)\cfrac{9^2}{2^2} \cot(30^o)\implies A=\cfrac{243}{8}\cot(30^o)\implies A=\cfrac{243\sqrt{3}}{8} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{area of circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=\frac{4}{5} \end{cases}\implies A=\pi \left( \cfrac{4}{5} \right)^2\implies A=\cfrac{16\pi }{25} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\stackrel{\textit{area of the hexagon}}{\cfrac{243\sqrt{3}}{8}}~~ - ~~\stackrel{\textit{area of the circle}}{\cfrac{16\pi }{25}}\implies \cfrac{6075\sqrt{3}-128\pi }{200}

Tcecarenko [31]
<span>The nonpermissible replacement for the variable x in this expression is x = 2


Substituting x = 2 yields:


(2)^2/(2(2)-4)


4/0, which is undefined.
