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.

Answer:
(#14 - supplementary) x = 10.5
(#15 - supplementary) x = 10

Explanation:
For these problems, we must know that a supplementary angle can be viewed as a sum of angles that add to 180 degrees. With this known, we can write our equations to find x.

(#14)
15x - 12 + 5x - 18 = 180
20x - 30 = 180
20x = 210
x = 10.5

(#15)
6x + 13 + 14x - 33 = 180
20x - 20 = 180
20x = 200
x = 10

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
