Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of the given line in this two way:

1) the faster is calculate -a/b where a is the number the multiply x and b is the number the multiply y. In this case we have -1/3

2) the second method is rewrite the equation in slope intercept form and find the therm that multiply x

3y = -x-15

y = -1/3x - 5

Also in this case we have -1/3

Two perpendicular lines have the the product of the their slope that is -1

So the slope that we are finding is 3

In fact = 3 x -1/3 = -1

A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will​ use, he needs to estimat
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a) A sample of 601 is needed.

b) A sample of 93 is needed.

c) A.  ​Yes, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) dramatically reduces the sample size.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of \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 \frac{1+\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

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

95% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.95, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975, so z = 1.96.

For this problem, we consider that we want it to be within 4%.

Item a:

  • The sample size is <u>n for which M = 0.04.</u>
  • There is no estimate, hence \pi = 0.5

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

0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}

0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}\right)^2

n = 600.25

Rounding up:

A sample of 601 is needed.

Item b:

The estimate is \pi = 0.96, hence:

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

0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.96(0.04)}{n}}

0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}\right)^2

n = 92.2

Rounding up:

A sample of 93 is needed.

Item c:

The closer the estimate is to \pi = 0.5, the larger the sample size needed, hence, the correct option is A.

-3.4 -3.4
= 7.75

7.75+3.6 11.15
