Answer:

1 1/12 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/4 = 9/4

9/4 - 1/3

27/12 - 4/12

23/12 = 1 1/12

Answer:

LCD = 4 x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator : LCD

(x + 1) / 4x and (3(x + 1)) / 2x^2

factor 4x : 2, 2, x

factor 2x^2 : 2, x, x^2

take highest powers 2^2 and x^2

LCD is 4*x^2

A phycologist is interested in determining the proportion of algae samples from a local rivulet that belong to a particular phyl

LuckyWell [14K]

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.
