In spite of the potential safety hazards, some people would like to have an Internet connection in their car. A preliminary survey of adult Americans has estimated this proportion to be somewhere around 0.40. Use the given preliminary estimate to determine the sample size required to estimate this proportion with 95% confidence and a margin of error of 0.02. (Round your answer up to the nearest integer.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample size required is of 2305.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

A preliminary survey of adult Americans has estimated this proportion to be somewhere around 0.40.

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.4[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

The sample size required to estimate this proportion with 95% confidence and a margin of error of 0.02.

The sample size required is of n.

n is found when M = 0.02. So

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.02 = 1.96\sqrt{0.4*0.6}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.02\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.4*0.6}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.4*0.6}}{0.02})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 2304.96[/tex]

Rounding up

The sample size required is of 2305.

A textbook store sold a combined total of 402 biology and physics textbooks in a week. The number of physics textbooks
sold was 54 less than the number of biology textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type were sold?
Number of biology textbooks sold: 0
Number of physics textbooks sold:
0

Answers

We have two types of textbooks. Let's use "x" to represent the number of math textbooks and "y" to represent the number of history textbooks.

Altogether, the bookseller sold 240 math and history textbooks. So:

x + y = 240

Now, the number of history textbooks sold was 72 less than the number of math books sold. So:

y = x - 72

Now we can substitute for y in the equation and solve:

x + y = 240

x + (x - 72) = 240

2x - 72 = 240

2x = 312

x = 156

The bookseller sold 156 math textbooks.

Since y = x - 72, he must have sold 84 history textbooks.

Let's check our answers:

x + y = 240

156 + 84 = 240

That is true, so we did get the correct answers.

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

The total amount the bucket of water can hold = 5 gallons

The percentage of bucket that is full = 45 %

So ,

The amount of bucket of water that is full is =
percentage of bucket that is full x total amount the bucket of water can hold

The amount of bucket of water that is full is = ( 45 / 100 ) x 5

                                                                         = 0.45 x 5

                                                                         = 2.25 gallons

Hence , the amount of water that the bucket is filled is 2.25 gallons

Answer:

Point of intersections are (0, -7) and (5, -2).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

A straight line is intersecting the circle at the two points (0, 7) and (5, -2).

Now solve algebraically,

Equation of the line → y = x - 7 -------(1)

Equation of the circle → (x - 5)² + (y + 7)² = 25 -------(2)

By substituting the value of y from equation (1) to equation (2)

(x - 5)² + (x - 7 + 7)² = 25

(x - 5)² + x² = 25

x² - 10x + 25 + x² = 25

2x² - 10x = 0

x² - 5x = 0

x(x - 5) = 0

x = 0, 5

From equation (1),

y = 0 - 7 = -7

y = 5 - 7 = -2

Therefore, point of intersections are (0, -7) and (5, -2).
