The state education commission wants to estimate the fraction of tenth grade students that have reading skills at or below the eighth grade level. In an earlier study, the population proportion was estimated to be 0.19. How large a sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level at the 98% confidence level with an error of at most 0.02

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample of 2084 is needed.

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]

In an earlier study, the population proportion was estimated to be 0.19.

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.19[/tex]

98% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.02[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.327[/tex].

How large a sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level at the 98% confidence level with an error of at most 0.02?

This is n for which M = 0.02. So

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

[tex]0.02 = 2.327\sqrt{\frac{0.19*0.81}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.02\sqrt{n} = 2.327\sqrt{0.19*0.81}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327\sqrt{0.19*0.81}}{0.02}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327\sqrt{0.19*0.81}}{0.02})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 2083.4[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 2084 is needed.

Answer:

130.5ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

The figure shown is a composite figure ( so we can't find the area of it using one formula )

That being said we want to break the irregular figure into regular figures in which the area can simply be found using a formula

The figure would be broken in to the following shapes

A rectangle with a width of 4 ft and a length of 9 ft

A rectangle with a width of 8 ft and a length of 9 ft

A triangle with a height of 5 ft and a base of 9 ft

Now that we have broken the irregular figure into regular shapes we want to find the area of each individual shape

For the smaller rectangle:

The area of a rectangle can simply be calculated by multiplying the width and length

So A = 9 * 4

9 * 4 = 36

so the area of the smaller rectangle is 36ft²

For the larger rectangle

Once again the area can simply be found by multiplying the width and length

A = 8 * 9

8 * 9 = 72

so the area of the larger rectangle is 72ft²

For the triangle

To find the area of a triangle we want to use this formula

[tex]A = \frac{bh}{2}[/tex]

where b = base and h = height

We have already identified the base and height so all we have to do is plug in the values into the formula

[tex]A=\frac{5*9}{2} \\5*9=45\\\frac{45}{2} =22.5[/tex]

so the area of the triangle is 22.5ft²

Finally we add the areas of each regular figure

22.5 + 72 + 36 = 130.5

so we can conclude that the area of the composite figure is 130.5ft²

(the photo is below)



If the base of the storage bench is 2 ½ ft. and the height along one side of the wall is 4 ½ ft. What is the area of the triangular cover?

Answers

Answer:

2.5 times 4.5 times .5 = 5.625 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at our Formula

.5 times base of triangle (b) times height of triangle (h)

Based on the photo, the height is 4.5 feet and the base is 2.5 feet.

4.5 times 2.5 times .5 (the 1/2 in the formula) = 5.625 ft squared.

Remember that it is 1/2 times the base and height, b/c triangle is half of square. Ft squared because ft times ft equals ft squared

A grocery store bought milk for $2.60 per half gallon and stored it in two refrigerators. During the night, one refrigerator malfunctioned and ruined 15 half gallons. If the remaining milk is sold for $4.08 per half gallon, how many half gallons did the store buy if they made a profit of $69.04?

Answers

Answer:

88 half gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by creating an equation. First we will need a variable. Since we are trying to find how many half gallons the store bought, that will be what our variable represents.

Let g = the number of half gallons

Since the store bought milk for $2.60 per half gallon, the amount of money they spent will be 2.6g.

The remaining milk is sold for $4.08 per half gallon. Remember, the store lost 15 half gallons so the number of gallons is currently g-15. This means that to find the amount of profit they made, we use 4.08(g-15).

We already know that the profit is $69.04, so we can make this into an equation.

This profit is the amount of money made minus the cost.

4.08(g-15) - 2.6g = 69.04

We can begin to solve this by simplifying the left side.

4.08(g-15) - 2.6g

4.08g - 61.2 - 2.6g

1.48g - 61.2

This makes our new equation:

1.48g - 61.2 = 69.04

We can begin to isolate our variable, g, by adding 61.2 to both sides.

1.48g = 130.24

Then we divide both sides by 1.48.

g = 88

Option B is correct. The measurement of the angle m in the circle given is 56degrees

Geometry deals with the measurement of properties of lines, solids, and angles.

The diagram given in the question is a circle. To get the value of d, we will use one of the circle theorems which states;

The angle at the vertex is equal to half the sum in its intercepted arcs as shown:

[tex]75=\frac{1}{2} (m\angle d - 94)[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]75 \times 2 = m \angle d - 94\\150=m \angle d +94\\m \angle d = 150 - 94\\m \angle = 56^0[/tex]

Hence the measurement of the angle m is 56degrees

(a) The mean of C is 1.0 and the standard deviation is 1.0.

(b) The mean of the total number of adult and child tickets purchased is 3.0, and the standard deviation is approximately 1.56.

(c) The mean amount spent per purchase is $65, and the standard deviation is approximately $33.54.

(a) To compute the mean of C, we multiply each value of C by its corresponding probability and sum them up:

Mean (μ) = (0 * 0.4) + (1 * 0.3) + (2 * 0.2) + (3 * 0.1) = 0 + 0.3 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 1.0

To compute the standard deviation, we first need to calculate the variance. The variance (σ²) is found by summing the squares of the differences between each value of C and the mean, weighted by their corresponding probabilities:

Variance (σ²) = [(0 - 1)² * 0.4] + [(1 - 1)² * 0.3] + [(2 - 1)² * 0.2] + [(3 - 1)² * 0.1] = 0.4 + 0 + 0.2 + 0.4 = 1.0

Finally, we take the square root of the variance to obtain the standard deviation (σ):

Standard Deviation (σ) = √(1.0) = 1.0

(b) Since the numbers of child tickets and adult tickets purchased are independent, the mean of the total number of adult and child tickets purchased is the sum of their individual means:

Mean (μ) = Mean of child tickets (μ c) + Mean of adult tickets (μ a) = 1.0 + 2 = 3.0

The variance of the total number of tickets purchased is the sum of the variances of the child and adult tickets:

Variance (σ²) = Variance of child tickets (σ c²) + Variance of adult tickets (σ a²) = 1.0 + (1.2)² = 2.44

The standard deviation of the total number of tickets purchased is the square root of the variance:

Standard Deviation (σ) = √(2.44) ≈ 1.56

(c) To compute the mean and standard deviation of the total amount spent per purchase, we need to multiply the number of child tickets and adult tickets purchased by their respective prices and sum them up.

Mean (μ) = Mean number of child tickets (μ c) * Price of child ticket + Mean number of adult tickets (μ a) * Price of adult ticket

Mean (μ) = 1.0 * $15 + 2 * $25 = $15 + $50 = $65

Variance (σ²) = Variance of child tickets (σ c²) * (Price of child ticket)² + Variance of adult tickets (σ a²) * (Price of adult ticket)²

Variance (σ²) = 1.0 * ($15)² + (1.2)² * ($25)² = $225 + $900 = $1125

Standard Deviation (σ) = √(1125) ≈ $33.54

Therefore, the mean amount spent per purchase is $65, and the standard deviation is approximately $33.54.

What’s the question?

Jarred went to the bookstore,
He bought a softcover book which was on sale for 10%
off. He spent $18 on the book, What was the original
price?

Answers

Answer:

the original price of the book is $20

Step-by-step explanation:

sometimes in a question, they put things in the question that don't actually help us get to the answer. usually we ignore it, but i'm going to list them out just to help you a bit more.

Things that are useless:

his name is Jarred (his name could be gary, it doesn't affect us getting the answer)he went to a bookstore (he could've gone to the library, it wont affect us getting to the answer)the book is softcover (it could be any type of book, wont affect us getting to the answer)the item is a book (it could be anything that he bought, wont affect us getting to the answer.)

Things that are helpful:

the book was on sale (helps us know that the price was reduced)the book was on sale 10% (helps us know how much it was reduced by)he spent $18 for the reduced price (helps us know how much he spent)

Ok, now that we know those, let's work on the question.

let b be the original book price

we need to find 10% so we have to use 90% (because 100 - 10 = 90)

if we needed to find 20% we would use 80% (because 100 - 20 = 80)

and so on.

  90% of b = 18    (90% of the og. book price equals 18)

90/100 × b = 18    (write a correct equation and make the percent a fraction)

    9/10 × b = 18    (simplify both sides of the equation)

         9 × b = 180  (multiply both sides of the equation to get rid of fraction)

               b = 20   (divide both sides of the equ. to get b by itself)

the original price of the book is $20
