Current rules for telephone area codes allow the use of digits​ 2-9 for the first​ digit, and​ 0-9 for the second and third​ dig

its, but the last two digits cannot both be 1​ (to avoid confusion with area codes such as​ 911). How many different area codes are possible with these​ rules? That same rule applies to the exchange​ numbers, which are the three digits immediately preceding the last four digits of a phone number. Given both of those​ rules, how many​ 10-digit phone numbers are​ possible? Given that these rules apply to the United States and Canada and a few​ islands, are there enough possible phone​ numbers? (Assume that the combined population is about​ 400,000,000.)

Using the fundamental counting theorem, we have that:

  • 648 different area codes are possible with this rule.
  • There are 6,480,000,000 possible 10-digit phone numbers.
  • The amount of possible phone numbers is greater than 400,000,000, thus, there are enough possible phone numbers.

The fundamental counting principle states that if there are p ways to do a thing, and q ways to do another thing, and these two things are independent, there are ways to do both things.

For the area code:

  • 8 options for the first digit.
  • 9 options for the second and third.

Thus:

8 \times 9 \times 9 = 648

648 different area codes are possible with this rule.

For the number of 10-digit phone numbers:

  • 7 digits, each with 10 options.
  • 648 different area codes.

Then

648 \times 10^7 = 6,480,000,000


There are 6,480,000,000 possible 10-digit phone numbers.

The amount of possible phone numbers is greater than 400,000,000, thus, there are enough possible phone numbers.

Answer:

We need at least 271 transactions

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 zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

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

90% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.1, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.95, so Z = 1.645.

Minimum sample size within five percentage points.

n when M = 0.05.

We dont know the proportion, so we use \pi = 0.5, which would be the proportion requiring the largest sample size

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

0.05 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}

\0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.645*0.5

\sqrt{n} = 16.45

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (16.45)^{2}

n = 270.6

We need at least 271 transactions

A circle with center O is shown. Create the equation for the circle.​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

(5 - 1)^2 + (1 - 1)^2 = 4^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Circle equation: ( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2

(h,K) is the coordinate of the center.

Center: (1,1)

(x,y) choose a point that could be the radius. (I choose the one on the top left side).

Point: (5,1)

Diameter: 8

Radius: 4

Plug in:

( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2

(5 - 1)^2 + (1 - 1)^2 = 4^2 (or 16)

Solve to see if it's true,

(5 - 1)^2 + (1 - 1)^2 = 4^2 (or 16)

4^2 + 0^2 = 4^2

16 = 16 (This is true, therefore, the equation is correct).
