You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population proportion. At this point in time, you have no reasonable estimate for the

population proportion. You would like to be 98% confident that you esimate is within 0.1% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?

Answer:

A sample size of at least 1,353,733 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , 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 .

The margin of error is:

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

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.  

You would like to be 98% confident that you esimate is within 0.1% of the true population proportion. How large of a sample size is required?

We need a sample size of at least n.

n is found when M = 0.001.

Since we don't have an estimate for the proportion, we use the worst case scenario, that is \pi = 0.5

So

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

0.001 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

0.001\sqrt{n} = 2.327*0.5

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327*0.5}{0.001}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.327*0.5}{0.001})^{2}

n = 1353732.25

Rounding up

A sample size of at least 1,353,733 is required.

Make a table showing all the possible outcomes for spinning the pointer of a spinner with four equal-sized sections labeled 1–4
natka813 [3]

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of spinners here and the outcome of them is independent. That means

P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)

There are two odd numbers out of four numbers in the first spinner. The chance of odd number will be:

P(odd) = 2/(2+2)= 1/2= 50%

There are four letters and the desired outcome is C. The chance for C will be:

P(C)= 1/4= 25%

Then the chance will be:

P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)

P(odd number,C) =50% * 25% = 12.5%

What’s the correct answer for this question?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to theorem, "the measure of central angle of minor Arc of a circle is doubleto that of the angle subtended by the corresponding major Arc."

So

m<AOB = 2(m<AZB)

m<AZB = M<AOB / 2

m<AZB = 68/2

m<AZB = 34°

Let f(x)=e^x and g(x)=x-3 what are the domain and range of (f g) (x)
Brrunno [24]
The domain and range of g are "all real numbers," so you want to find the range of f when its argument is from the set "all real numbers." That range is y > 0. The appropriate choice is
  D. domain: all real numbers; range: y > 0

Violet is planning to make 32 semiannual loan payments of $1580 dollars each. If her bank charges an annual interest rate of 3.8
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

  $21,623.70

Step-by-step explanation:

A suitable financial calculator can compute the beginning balance and the remaining balance for you. The attachments show a TI-Nspire calculator's TVM solver app being used to answer this question.

The first attachment shows the computation of the loan value. It is about $37,624.54.

The second attachment shows the computation of the remaining balance after 16 of the 32 semi-annual payments have been made.

The loan balance 8 years from the end of the loan will be about $21,623.70.
