Answer:
9670 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The height given (8219.5 ft) is 85% OF ORIGINAL, hence original is much higher. But how do we figure this out?
we translate word problem to equation.
8219.5 IS 85% of TOTAL
Firstly, 85% = 85/100 = 0.85
Remember, is means =
of means multiplication
So we have:
8219.5 = 0.85 * Total
Hence, total = [let total be 7]
8219.5 = 0.85 * t
t = 8219.5/0.85 = 9670 feet
The size of the sample they should take to estimate p with a 2% margin of error and 90% confidence is n = 1691.
In statistics, the margin of error is just the degree of a significant error in the outcomes of random sample surveys.
The formula of margin error is, E = z√((p-vector)(1 - (p-vector)) ÷ n)
E = 2% = 0.02
Confidence level = 90%
Now, the proportion is not given so adopt nominal (p-vector) = 0.05
The critical value at CL of 90% is 1.645.
Thus, making n the subject,
n = z²(((p-vector) × (1 - (p-vector))) ÷ E²)
n = 1.645²((0.5 × 0.5) ÷ 0.02²)
n = 1691.266
n ≈ 1691

Answer:
Sample size should be atleast 617
Step-by-step explanation:
given that a 95% confidence interval for the mean of a population is to be constructed and must be accurate to within 0.3 unit.
i.e. margin of error <0.3
Std devition sample = 3.8
For 95% assuming sample size large we can use z critical value
Z critical = 1.96
we have
Sample size should be atleast 617 to get an accurate margin of error 0.3
86 Naira; divide 1075 by 12.5 (hopefully this is correct!)
