A doctor at a local hospital is interested in estimating the birth weight of infants. How large a sample must she select if she

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The minimum sample size needed is $n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$ . If n is a decimal number, it is rounded up to the next integer. $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.05 = 0.95$ , so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How large a sample must she select if she desires to be 90% confident that her estimate is within 4 ounces of the true mean?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found when M = 4. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$4 = 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$4\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{\sigma}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$

$n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$

The minimum sample size needed is $n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$ . If n is a decimal number, it is rounded up to the next integer. $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population.

40. When you translate, (x, y+6) will move

VikaD [51]

Answer:

A 6 units up

Translation rule

Y rule

+= up

-= down

X rule

+= right

-=left

Reflection rule

Reflection over x axis

Y that was once a positive number, is flipped to a negative

example

6,2 reflected over the x axis.

2=-2

Y axis rule example

-2,7 reflected over the y axis

-2=2

Step-by-step explanation:

If it ever says (example,example) like flipped over the x, it will change the y.

Same for a flip over the y, it will change the x

How to figure out math problem <br> 2 3/8 x 1/3

amid [387]

The answer is 6/48. You would multiply 3/8 by 1/3 across and get 3/24,then you multiply 3/24 by 2 and get 6/48

I need c and d answered badly

Kisachek [45]

C. translated down 2 units

---The "-2" located on the outside of f(x) tells us that the y-values are being changed. With that, the graph can be moved up or down. The presence of the negative/subtraction sign tells us that the graph is moved down.

D. translated right 4 units

---The "-4" located with the x in f(x) tells us that the x-values are being changed. The only tricky thing about this is that the direction of the movement is actually the opposite of the sign. So with the negative/subtraction sign, the graph is moved to the right instead of the left.

Hope this helps!

can someone help me!! Use algebraic rules of equations to predict the solution type to the system of equations. Include all of y

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

x + y = 4 Equation 1

y = 2x -1 Equation 2

-2x + y = -1

x + y = 4

Subtract

You will get

- 3x = -5

Divide by -3

-3x / -3 = - 5 /-3

x = 5/3

Substitute x into equation 1

x + y = 4

x = 5/3

5/3 + y = 4

y = 4 - 5/3

y = 7/3

x = 5/3 y = 7/3

Hope this helps.
