A polling company is trying to estimate the percentage of adults that consider themselves happy. A confidence interval based on

a sample size of 180 has a larger than desired margin of error. The company wants to conduct another poll and obtain another confidence interval of the same level but reduce the error to one-third the size of the original sample. How many adults should they now interview

Answer:

They should interview 1620 adults now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error of a confidence interval:

The margin of error of a confidence interval has the following format:

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which z is related to the confidence level, \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

z wont change, neither will \sigma

We want to increase n as such the margin of error is reduced to one third.

We have that the margin of error is inversely proportional to the square root of the size of the sample, which means that for the margin of error to be reduced to one third, the sample size has to be multiplied by 3^2 = 9. So

180*9 = 1620

They should interview 1620 adults now.

Find the measure of x
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

13°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the two angles are equal

2. the sum of all the angles of a triangle is equal to 180°

so X+13+154=180

X+167=180

X= 180-167

X=13°

NFL quarterback Patrick mahomes threw a pass that clocked 62mph. How fast is this in yards per second?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The speed of the pass that clocked is  30.31 yards per seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The speed of the pass = 62 miles per hour

Let The speed in yards per second = x yps

So, ∵ The speed = 62 miles per hour

Or, The speed = \dfrac{\textrm 62 miles}{\textrm 1 hour}

or,  The speed = \dfrac{\textrm 62 miles}{\textrm 3600 secons}

∵ In 1 hour = 3600 seconds

So, The speed = 0.0172 miles per second

Now, Again

Since 1 mile = 1760 yards

So, 62 miles = 1760 × 62 = 109,120 yards

∴ The speed in yard per second = \dfrac{\textrm 109,120 yard}{\textrm 3600 seconds}

I.e The speed in yards per second = 30.31 yards per seconds

Hence The speed of the pass that clocked is  30.31 yards per seconds Answer

Enter the value of n so the expression (-y+7.3)+(6.2y-9) is equivalent to 5.2y+n
soldier1979 [14.2K]
<span>(-y+7.3)+(6.2y-9)
= 5.2 y - 1.7

so n = - 1.7</span>
