Answer:

The value of x = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio between length and width is given by:

\frac{L}{W}=\frac{5}{3}

Where:

  • L represents the new length
  • W represents the new width

Now, we know that each dimension is reduced by x inches, it means:

L=18-x

W=12-x

Then, we will have:

\frac{18-x}{12-x}=\frac{5}{3}

Finally, we just need to solve it for x.  

3(18-x)=5(12-x)

5x-3x=60-54

2x=6

x=3

<u>Therefore, the value of </u><u>x = 3.</u>

I hope it helps you!

. Compute the required sample size given the required confidence in the sample results is 99.74% (Z score of 3). The level of al
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

900 sample size

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the sample size for a proportion, the margin of error formula is used to determine this:

E=Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\sqrt{\frac{\hat p \hat q}{{n} }

n=\hat p \hat q*(\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }}{E} )^2

Where p is the proportion, E is the margin of error, n is the sample size, q = 1 - p, Z_\frac{\alpha }{2} is the z score.

Since the proportion is not known, the sample size needed to guarantee the confidence interval and error is at p = 0.5 and q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

E = 5% = 0.05, Z_\frac{\alpha }{2} = 3. Hence:

n=0.5*0.5*(\frac{3}{0.05} )^2\\\\n = 900

If p(a) = 1/3, p(b) = 2/5, and p(a ∪ b) = 3/5, then p(a ∩ b) =
Mumz [18]
P(a ∪ b) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a ∩ b)
p(a ∩ b) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a ∪ b)
p(a ∩ b) = 1/3 + 2/5 - 3/5
p(a ∩ b) = 2/15
