Answer: 5.64 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by :-

$\text{Volume}=\pi r^2 h$ , where r is radius and h is height of the cylinder.

Given : Volume of cylinder = 175 cubic units

Height = 7 units.

Substitute these values in the above formula , we have

$175=(3.14) r^2 (7)\\\\\Rightarrow\ r^2=\dfrac{175}{(3.14)(7)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ r^=7.96178343949\\\\\Rightarrow\ r\approx2.82$

Now, the diameter of the cylinder will be given by :-

$d=2(2.82)=5.64\text{ units}$

Answer:

A sample of 16577 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 z-score that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is of:

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

99% confidence level

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

She wants to estimate the proportion using a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error of at most 0.01. How large a sample size would be required?

We have no estimation for the proportion, and thus we use $\pi = 0.5$ , which is when the largest sample size will be needed.
