A sociologist wishes to conduct a poll to estimate the percentage of Americans who favor affirmative action program for women and minorities for admission to colleges and universities. What sample size should be obtained if she wishes the estimate to be within a margin of error of 0.04, with 95% confidence, if she uses a 2003 estimate of 0.55 obtained from a Gallup Youth Survey

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample of 595 should be obtained.

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]

Estimate of 0.55

This means that [tex]\pi = 0.55[/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].

What sample size should be obtained if she wishes the estimate to be within a margin of error of 0.04?

This is n for which M = 0.04. So

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

[tex]0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.55*0.45}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.55*0.45}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.55*0.45}}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.55*0.45}}{0.04})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 594.2[/tex]

Rounding up,

A sample of 595 should be obtained.

Answers

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

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

divid 4 by whats in parentheses

4x+4 -2x =5-x

combind 4x and -2x

2x+4=5-x

combind 2x and x

3x+4=5

subtract 4 from 5

3x=1

3÷3 and 1÷3

x=3

Answer:

x = 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

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

4x + 4 - 2x = 5 - x

4x - 2x + 4 = 5 - x

2x + 4 = 5 - x

2x + x + 4 = 5 - x + x

3x + 4 = 5

3x = 5 - 4

3x = 1

3x ÷ 3 = 1 ÷ 3

x = 0.33

Mr and mrs smith buy tickets for themselves and their four children. the cost of an adult ticket is ? 6 more than the adult ticket. the total cost of the six tickets is ? 40.50 work out the cost of an adult ticket. in your working let c be the cost of the child ticket and a be the cost of the adult ticket.

Answers

Answer:

child's ticket =  4.75        adult ticket=10.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of an adult ticket is 6 more than that of a child ticket, so will be denoted by c+6. Now, we are told that the cost of four child tickets and two adult tickets is 40.50, so we can put this in an equation and solve for c:

(c+6)+(c+6)+c+c+c+c=40.50

6c+12=40.50

6c=28.50

c=4.75

Therefore the cost of a child's ticket (c) is 4.75 and the cost of an adult ticket (c+6) is 10.75.

A racing car driver is investigating whether the type of fuel he uses in his car affects his overall speed. He uses three different types of fuel. The driver runs an experiment where he fills his car with each type of fuel 20 times, and each time records the time taken to drive one lap of a track. A one-way ANOVA test is conducted to test the null hypothesis that type of fuel is not a significant factor in determining speed. The result of the test is that the null hypothesis is not rejected.

The conclusion that follows from this test is that: __________

a. it has been proven that the type of fuel is a significant factor in determining speed
b. it cannot be ruled out that the type of fuel is an insignificant factor in determining speed
c. it has been proven that the type of fuel is an insignificant factor in determining speed
d. it has been proven that the type of fuel can sometimes be a significant factor in determining speed

Answers

Answer:

b. it cannot be ruled out that the type of fuel is an insignificant factor in determining speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question :

Let the speed of each fuel be represented as ;

u1, u2, u3

The null hypothesis, H0 ;

H0 : u1 = u2 = u3

H0 is of the notion that fuel type is not a significant factor in determining speed

The alternative hypothesis, H1;

H1 : u1 ≠ u2 ≠ u3

The alternative is the opposite of the null, fuel type is a significant factor in determining speed

If after conducting the statistical test, the null hypothesis cannot be rejected ;

Then the conclusion will be ;

There is no significant evidence to conclude that the fuel type is a significant factor in determining speed ;

Hence, fuel fuel type remains an insignificant factor in determining speed.

Write each expression as an algebraic​ (nontrigonometric) expression in​ u, u > 0.
sin(2sec^-1 u/10)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)=\frac{20\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u^2}\text{ where } u>0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the trignometric expression:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)\text{ where } u>0[/tex]

As an algebraic equation.

First, we can focus on the inner expression. Let θ equal the expression:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta=\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)[/tex]

Take the secant of both sides:

[tex]\displaystyle \sec(\theta)=\frac{u}{10}[/tex]

Since secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse side to the adjacent side, this means that the opposite side is:

[tex]\displaystyle o=\sqrt{u^2-10^2}=\sqrt{u^2-100}[/tex]

By substitutition:

[tex]\displaystyle= \sin(2\theta)[/tex]

Using an double-angle identity:

[tex]=2\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)[/tex]

We know that the opposite side is √(u² -100), the adjacent side is 10, and the hypotenuse is u. Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle =2\left(\frac{\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u}\right)\left(\frac{10}{u}\right)[/tex]

Simplify. Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \sin\left(2\sec^{-1}\left(\frac{u}{10}\right)\right)=\frac{20\sqrt{u^2-100}}{u^2}\text{ where } u>0[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of these numbers will have every factor that is part of these numbers.

  16 = 2^4

  30 = 2 × 3 × 5

  36 = 2^2 × 3^2

So, the LCM will have factors of 2^4, 3^2, and 5:

  LCM(16, 30, 36) = 2^4 × 3^2 × 5 = 720

720 = 16×45 = 30×24 = 36×20

There were 816 cars parked in the parking lot on Monday morning. At lunchtime 91 cars left the lot. After lunch, 135 cars came back to the parking lot. How many parking spots were left on Monday morning ?

Answers

Answer:

467

Step-by-step explanation:

There were a total 1327 parking lots.

Out of these 816 were taken in the morning, 91 cars left in the afternoon, while 135 came back after lunch.

So there are,

[tex]Cars left = 1327 - (816 - 91 + 135) \\\\ = 1327 - 860\\ = 467[/tex]

Thus, there are 467 parking spots left on Monday afternoon.

Answers

Answer

16/43

Step-by-step explanation:

17 Male + 27 female = 44 students

now n= 2 so first student was male so one male student was taken out of the equation so 16 male left. now left male students by remaining students  so now total left students = 43

so, prob = remaining males/remaining students=16/43
