Answer:

n has to be at least 16577.

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:

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

Out of n randomly selected students she finds that that exactly half attend their home basketball games.

This means that \pi = 0.5

99% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.01, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995, so Z = 2.575.

About how large would n have to be to get a margin of error less than 0.01 for p

We have to find n for which M = 0.01. So

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

0.01 = 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.01\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.5}{0.01}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*0.5}{0.01})^2

n = 16576.6

Rounding up

n has to be at least 16577.

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. In each​ case, state the possible values of the random variable
Annette [7]

Answer:

A=discrete; B=continuous

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is = discrete

​(b) The time it takes for a light bulb to burn out.=continuous

Discrete variables are countable in a finite amount of time such as the case of free dash throw attempts

Continuous Variables are more difficult to count. In statistics, time is a Continuous Variable

The equation sin(40o) = can be used to determine the length of line segment AC. What is the length of ? Round to the nearest ten
I am Lyosha [343]
The answer:
For more explanation please look at the image.
according to the image, the length of line segment AC can be found as
the following method shows:

<span>sin(40°)= opposite side  / hypotenuse,  opposite side = b, hypotenuse = AB= 20cm
</span>sin(40°)= b / 20 and this applies, b = 20 x sin(40°) = 0.64*20 = 12.85 cm
AC= 12.85 cm

Given that (1, 0, 1) is a solution to a system of three linear equations, which of the following is true about the system?
Anna35 [415]
<h3>Answer:  Choice C) </h3><h3>The system can only be independent and consistent</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices

  • A) This isn't possible. Either a system is consistent or inconsistent. It cannot be both at the same time. The term "inconsistent" literally means "not consistent". It's like saying a cup is empty and full at the same time. We can rule out choice A.
  • B) This is similar to choice A and we cannot have a system be both independent and dependent. Either a system is independent or dependent, but not both. Independence means that the two equations are not tied together, while dependent equations are some multiple of each other. We can rule out choice B.
  • C) We'll get back to this later
  • D) The independence/dependence status is unknown without the actual equations present. However, we know 100% that this system is not inconsistent. This is because the system has at least one solution. Inconsistent systems do not have any solutions at all (eg: parallel lines that never cross). We can rule out choice D because of this.

Going back to choice C, again we don't have enough info to determine if the system is independent or dependent, but we at least know it's consistent. Consistent systems have one or more solutions. So part of choice C can be confirmed. It being the only thing left means that it has to be the final answer.

If it were me as the teacher, I'd cross out the "independent" part of choice C and simply say the system is consistent.
