we believe that 42% of freshmen do not visit their counselors regularly. For this year, you would like to obtain a new sample to

estimate the proportiton of freshmen who do not visit their counselors regularly. You would like to be 98% confident that your estimate is within 3.5% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required

Answer:

A sample of 1077 is required.

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 zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

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

42% of freshmen do not visit their counselors regularly.

This means that \pi = 0.42

98% confidence level

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

How large of a sample size is required?

A sample size of n is required, and n is found when M = 0.035. So

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

0.035 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.42*0.58}{n}}

0.035\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.42*0.58}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.42*0.58}}{0.035}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.42*0.58}}{0.035})^2

n = 1076.8

Rounding up:

A sample of 1077 is required.

Eliminate 3x+2y=4<br> 8x-3y=-6
laila [671]
Steps:
1. Multiply the first line by 3 and the second by 2
3(3x + 2y= 4)
2(8x -3y=-6)
2. New lines are
9x + 6y= 12
16x + -6y=-12
3. Now add/subtract them
25x + 0= 0
25x=0
4. Divide by 25
X=0

5. To find y, substitute the 0 in the x in one of the equations
9x + 6y= 12
9(0) + 6y= 12
6y= 12
6. Divide by 6, your Y=2
7. X=0, Y=2
