Answer:
(b) 4,445
Step-by-step explanation:
If the researcher would like to be 95% sure that the obtained sample proportion would be within 1.5% of p (the proportion in the entire population of U.S. adults), what sample size should be used?
Given a=0.05, |Z(0.025)|=1.96 (check standard normal table)
So n=(Z/E)^2*p*(1-p)
=(1.96/0.015)^2*0.5*0.5
=4268.444
Take n=4269
Answer:(b) 4,445
Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2+ ( 2x+2)^2 = (2x+3)^2
FOIL the squared terms
x^2 +(4x^2 + 4x+4x+4) = 4x^2 + 6x+6x +9
Combine like terms
5x^2+8x +4 = 4x^2 +12x +9
Subtract 4x^2 +12x +9 from each side
5x^2+8x +4 -4x^2 -12x -9= 4x^2 +12x +9-4x^2 -12x -9
x^2 -4x -5 =0
Factor
(x-5) (x+1) = 0
Using the zero product property
x=5 x=-1
But x cannot be negative or we would have negative length
x=5
