Suppose a population proportion is .40, and 80% of the time when you draw a random sample from this population you get a sample proportion of .35 or more. how large a sample were you taking?

Answers

Answer 1

Final answer:

To determine the sample size needed, use the formula for sample proportion: n = (z * sqrt(p * q)) / E. Plugging in the given values, the minimum sample size required is 178.

Explanation:

To determine the sample size needed, we can use the formula for sample proportion:

n = (z * sqrt(p * q)) / E

Where:

n is the sample size

z is the z-value corresponding to the desired confidence level (in this case, 80%)

p is the population proportion (0.4)

q is 1 - p

E is the maximum allowable error (0.05)

Plugging in the values, we have:

n = (z * sqrt(p * q)) / E = (0.84 * sqrt(0.4 * (1 - 0.4))) / 0.05 ≈ 177.6

Since we cannot have a fractional number of individuals, we round up to the next whole number. Therefore, we would need a minimum sample size of 178 to be 80% confident that the population proportion is estimated to within 0.05.

The statement is False,

The function and its inverse are reflected about the line y=x. This means that the x and y values are replaced.

So, if a function has a point (2,3) the same point on its inverse will moved be (3,2). This happens for all the points.

Therefore, the statement is false.

the correct question is
The product of two consecutive even integers is 120. Find the integers

let
x-----------> first even integer
x+2-------> second consecutive even integer

we know that
x*(x+2)=120-------> x²+2x-120=0

Find: m∠S, m∠T, m∠Q

Answers

Answer:  m∠S = 58 ° ;  m∠T = 64 ° ;  m∠Q = 58 ° .
__________________________________________________________

Explanation:
__________________________________________________________
  
To find "m∠Q" :

Consider the triangle formed by ∠D , ∠1, and ∠Q  ; 

  Given m∠1 = 32° ; 
   
       and  m∠D = 90° (a "right triangle" ; as shown in "image attached" ; 

and by definition, all triangles have 3 angles and 3 sides; and all 3 angles of a triangle add up to 180° ; 

→  m∠Q  =  180 − (90 + 32) = 180 − 122 = 58 ; 
_______________________________________________________

Since this is an "isosceles triangle" ;  

→  m∠S = m∠Q = 58° .

Since all angles of any triangle add up to " 180° " ; 

→ m∠T = 180 − (58 + 58) = 180 − 116 = 64 
____________________________________________

Answer:  m∠S = 58 ° ;  m∠T = 64 ° ;  m∠Q = 58 ° .
____________________________________________

Answer:

s=58 degrees, Q=58 degrees, T=64 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangle formed by ∠D , ∠1, and ∠Q  ;

 Given m∠1 = 32° ;

 

      and  m∠D = 90° (a "right triangle" ; as shown in "image attached" ;

and by definition, all triangles have 3 angles and 3 sides; and all 3 angles of a triangle add up to 180° ;

→  m∠Q  =  180 − (90 + 32) = 180 − 122 = 58

Given a mean of 24.5 and a standard deviation of 1.7, within how many standard deviations of the mean do the values 24, 23, 28, 23, 24, and 25 fall?

Answers

It would be 3. I hope this helps!

Given mean = 24.5 and standard deviation = 1.7

Within 1 standard deviations, x ∈ [24.5 - 1.7 , 24.5 + 1.7] or [22.8 , 26.2].

Within 2 standard deviations, x ∈ [24.5 - 2(1.7) , 24.5 + 2(1.7)] or [21.1 , 27.9].

Within 3 standard deviations, x ∈ [24.5 - 3(1.7) , 24.5 + 3(1.7)] or [19.4 , 29.6].

Given values are 24, 23, 28, 23, 24, and 25.

So {24, 23, 23, 24, 25} fall within 1 standard deviation and {28} falls within 3 standard deviations.

C.) $10 per shirt

Step-by-step explanation:

The option C is more simplified answer for given condition, unit rate is $10.

What is unit rate?

When comparing two different kinds of numbers with distinct units, a rate is a ratio that is employed. The unit rate, on the other hand, shows how many units of one quantity are equal to one unit of another. When the rate's denominator is 1, we refer to the rate as a unit rate.

Given

There are 5 shirts in the image given to us composed of 3 white shirts and 2 black shirts.

A rate with 1 as its denominator is known as a unit rate.

Option A: A ratio of 3:2 or a fraction of 3/2 is indicated by 3 white shirts and 2 white black shirts.

The denominator is not 1, hence this cannot be a unit rate.

Option B: 5 white shirts to 2 black shirts. This cannot be a unit rate because the fraction 2/5 will not have 1 as the denominator.

Choice C: $10 for each shirt. Because it represents a ratio of 10:1 or a fraction of 10/1, this rate is a unit rate. Therefore, the price of 5 shirts will be $50.

D: $50 for each shirt. Because option C has provided us with a more straightforward sum of $10, which we must accept as we are dealing with unit rates, this would not be a unit rate in this question.

Hence Option C is most suitable answer.

Answers

John deposits $5,250 into his savings account every month, which is 75% of his monthly salary.

The student's question is about how much money John deposits into his savings account from his monthly salary. To solve this, we calculate 0.75 (or 75%) of John's monthly salary of 7,000.

Calculation: 0.75  imes 7,000 = 5,250

So, John deposits $5,250 into his savings account every month.

Answers

9 total tomato plants  /  3 plants = 3

from the list of plants there are 3 squash plants

3 squash plants x 3 tomato plants = 9 total tomato plants

 the answer is Squash Plants

Answer: Squash plant is the right answer to fill the blank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of tomato plants = 9

Number of pepper plants = 5

Number of squash plants = 3

Number of pumpkin plants = 6

Since the ratio of tomato plants to squash plants is 9 : 3 = 3 : 1.

So, for every 3 tomato plants in Sunny's garden, there is 1 squash plant.

Hence, Squash plant is the right answer to fill the blank.

How would you solve 1/8 divided by 6

Answers

The required 1/8 divided by 6 is equal to 1/48.

To solve 1/8 divided by 6, we can rewrite it as a fraction. The reciprocal of 6 is 1/6, so the division problem becomes (1/8) * (1/6). To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.

Step 1 is given as:
= (1/8) * (1/6)


Step 2(simplification) is given as:

= 1 * 1 / 8 * 6
= 1/48

Therefore, the required 1/8 divided by 6 is equal to 1/48.

What is right triangle?

Right triangle is defined as a triangle which one angle is a right angle or two sides are perpendicular.

What is Pythagoras theorem?

A right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

perpendicular² + base² = hypotenuse²

Given,

Side length of each triangle = 4 feet

Hypotenuse of each triangle = 9 feet

Shared side = x

Given the triangles are right angled,

According to Pythagoras theorem,

a² + b² = c²

Here, a = 4 , b = x , c= 9

Substitute the values in Pythagoras theorem,

4² + x² = 9²

16 + x² = 81

x² = 81 - 16

x² = 65

Taking square root on both sides

x = √65

x = 8.062

x = 8.1 (Rounding nearest tenth)

Hence, the center height of tent is 8.1 feet.

Answers

The lowest score will be obtained as follows:
the z-score is given by:
z=(x-μ)/σ
where:
σ-standard deviation
μ- mean

we are required to evaluate for x, given that P(x<X)=0.05
The value of z that corresponds to 5% will be:
z=-1.65
thus plugging our values we obtain:
-1.65=(x-62)/11
solving for x we get:
-18.15=x-62
thus
x=-18.15+62
x=43.85
x~44
Thus the lowest score is 44

The lowest marks that a student can have and still be awarded a passing grade is 44.

Step-by-step explanation:
