Answer:

13/52 (0.25) (25%)

Explanation:

There are 52 cards in a standard deck and there are four suits.

52/4 = 13

So, the probability (assuming that’s what you are asking for) is a 13/52 chance you will pull a hearts card.

Lenox ironed 1/4 of the shirts over the weekend. She plans to split the remainder of the work equally over the next 5 evenings.

3/20, or 0.15 of the shirts each evening

1 - 1/4 = 3/4

(3/4) / 5 = (3/4) / (5/1) = (3/4) x (1/5) = 3/20 = 0.15

Answer:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{2.58})^2}=16641$

And rounded up we have that n=16641

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-2.58, t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.58$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.01$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

For this case we can use as estimator for the proportion $\hat p =0.5$ , since we don't have any other previous info. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:
