A researcher wishes to​ estimate, with ​% ​confidence, the population proportion of adults who eat fast food four to six times per week. Her estimate must be accurate within ​% of the population proportion.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum sample size required is 1068.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A researcher wishes to​ estimate, with 95​%  confidence, the population proportion of adults who eat fast food four to six times per week. Her estimate must be accurate within 3​%  of the population proportion.

​No preliminary estimate is available. Find the minimum sample size needed.

Solution:

The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the population proportion is:

[tex]CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

The margin of error for this interval is:

[tex]MOE= z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

The information provided is:

[tex]MOE=0.03\\\text{Confidence level}=95\%[/tex]

Assume that the sample proportion is 50%.

The critical value of z is, 1.96.

Compute the minimum sample size required as follows:

[tex]MOE= z_{\alpha/2}\cdot\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}[/tex]

      [tex]n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\cdot \sqrt{\hat p(1-\hat p)}}{MOE}]^{2}[/tex]

         [tex]=[\frac{1.96\times\sqrt{0.50(1-0.50)}}{0.03}]^{2}\\\\=1067.1111\\\\\approx 1068[/tex]

Thus, the minimum sample size required is 1068.

y= 3x - 5 (x)

Answers

Answer:

y= 3x - 5

y+5 = 3x

x = (y+5)/3

Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{y+5}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 3x - 5 ( add 5 to both sides )

y + 5 = 3x ( isolate x by dividing both sides by 3 )

[tex]\frac{y+5}{3}[/tex] = x

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question.

From the attachment, we have that:

[tex]A = 71[/tex]

[tex]C = 121[/tex]

[tex]T = 66[/tex]

First, we calculate the total

[tex]Total = A + C + T[/tex]

[tex]Total = 71 + 121 + 66[/tex]

[tex]Total = 258[/tex]

Solving (a): Probability of A

This is calculated using:

[tex]Probability = \frac{A}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{71}{258}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.275[/tex]

Solving (b): Probability of C

This is calculated using:

[tex]Probability = \frac{C}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{121}{258}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.469[/tex]

Solving (b): Probability of T

This is calculated using:

[tex]Probability = \frac{T}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = \frac{66}{258}[/tex]

[tex]Probability = 0.256[/tex]

Find an equation of a line that is parallel to y = 5x + 9 and passes through
the point (3, 11).

Answers

Answer:

y = 5x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation y = 5x + 9 currently does not pass through the point (3, 11). It asks us to create the equation of a line parallel to y = 5x + 9. So all we have to change is the 9, where the line passes through the y-coordinate. The slope, 5x, has to stay the same, otherwise, the new line will not be parallel to  y = 5x + 9.

The line has to pass through to point (3, 11). The 3, stands for the x value, and 11 the y value. If we start at the y value of -4, that means the very next point would be (1, 1), and the next one, (2, 6), and the final one, (3, 11). This is because we know the slope of the line is 5x, that means for every 1 gained x value, the y value gains 5 values.

So, the equation of the new line would be this:

y = 5x - 4

The x-values that are approximate solution of the equation [tex]f(x) = g(x)[/tex] are [tex]x_{1} \approx -3.5[/tex] and [tex]x_{2}\approx 5[/tex], respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

From graph we infer that the x-values that represents a solution to the system of equations corresponds to those values of x in which both functions coincide. As we see, there are two x-values for [tex]f(x) = g(x)[/tex], which are described below:

[tex]x_{1} \approx -3.5[/tex] and [tex]x_{2}\approx 5[/tex]

The x-values that are approximate solution of the equation [tex]f(x) = g(x)[/tex] are [tex]x_{1} \approx -3.5[/tex] and [tex]x_{2}\approx 5[/tex], respectively.

Find the sum and the product of the roots of the equation: x^2+35x−51=0

what is the product of them?

Answers

Answer:

(a)

[tex]Sum = -35[/tex]

[tex]Product = -51[/tex]

(b)

[tex]Product = 1785[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x^2 + 35x - 51 = 0[/tex]

Required

(a) Determine the sum and product of the equation

(b) Determine the products of the (a)

Solving (a)

The general form of a quadratic equation is:

[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex]

Where

[tex]Sum = -\frac{b}{a}[/tex]

[tex]Product = \frac{c}{a}[/tex]

By comparison of [tex]ax^2 + bx + c = 0[/tex] tp [tex]x^2 + 35x - 51 = 0[/tex]

[tex]a = 1[/tex]

[tex]b = 35[/tex]

[tex]c = -51[/tex]

So:

[tex]Sum = -\frac{b}{a}[/tex]

[tex]Sum = -\frac{35}{1}[/tex]

[tex]Sum = -35[/tex]

[tex]Product = \frac{c}{a}[/tex]

[tex]Product = \frac{-51}{1}[/tex]

[tex]Product = -51[/tex]

Solving (b)

From (a) above, we have:

[tex]Sum = -35[/tex]

[tex]Product = -51[/tex]

Their product is:

[tex]Product = -35 * -51[/tex]

[tex]Product = 1785[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "She cut a total of 42 pieces of pie".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total pie=  [tex]5 \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

cut pie = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

The number of pieces of the pie she has=?

Solve the mixed fraction value:

[tex]\to 5 \frac{1}{4}= \frac{21}{4}[/tex]

If she cuts the pieces into the entire pie, that is  = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]  

So, the equation is:

[tex]\to \frac{21}{4} = \frac{1}{8} \times x[/tex]

[tex]\to x= \frac{21 \times 8}{4}\\\\ \to x= 21 \times 2\\\\ \to x=42[/tex]
