A programmer plans to develop a new software system. In planning for the operating system that he will​ use, he needs to estimate the percentage of computers that use a new operating system. How many computers must be surveyed in order to be ​% confident that his estimate is in error by no more than percentage point Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.


A) Assume nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems

n =
round up to the nearest integer

b) Assume that the recent survey suggest that about 96% of computers use a operating system.

n =
round up to the nearest integer


C) Does the additional survey information from part​ (b) have much of an effect on the sample size that is​ required?

A.

​Yes, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) dramatically reduces the sample size.

B.

​No, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) does not change the sample size.

C.

​Yes, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) dramatically increases the sample size.

D.

​No, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) only slightly increases the sample size.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the z-distribution, we have that:

a) A sample of 601 is needed.

b) A sample of 93 is needed.

c) A.  ​Yes, using the additional survey information from part​ (b) dramatically reduces the sample size.

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]\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 z-score that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is:

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

95% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.95[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.96[/tex].

For this problem, we consider that we want it to be within 4%.

Item a:

The sample size is n for which M = 0.04.There is no estimate, hence [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex]

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

[tex]0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.04}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 600.25[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 601 is needed.

Item b:

The estimate is [tex]\pi = 0.96[/tex], hence:

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

[tex]0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.96(0.04)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.96(0.04)}}{0.04}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 92.2[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 93 is needed.

Item c:

The closer the estimate is to [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex], the larger the sample size needed, hence, the correct option is A.

What is the vertical shift for the absolute value function below f(x) =9 |x+1|+2

Answers

Answer:

Slide UP 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation,

f(x) = 9|x+1| + 2

There are three transformations of the parent function f(x)=|x| (this is the simplest form of this function, it's a v-shaped graph)

The 9 in front will vertically stretch the graph and make it look like a "skinny" v-shaped graph.

The +1 in close to the x inside the absolute value bars |x+1| will shift (slide) the graph to the left (it's the opposite of what you might think-- 'plus' shifts the graph left and 'minus' shifts the graph right)

The +2 at the end is the transformation you're looking for. It slides the graph as you would expect UP 2 units. If it was a minus it would shift the graph down instead.

Question 1: Whose percentage increased more from 1984 to 2014, males or females? By how much more did it increase?
My Answer: Between 1984 to 2014 males diagnosed with diabetes increased more than females. The number of males diagnosed with diabetes increased more than .9% compared to females.

Help my teacher said it was wrong

Answers

The percentage increase are applied to the number of male and female

from the previous period.

From 1984 to 2014, the percentage of females increased more than males.

Reasons:

Let F represent the initial number of females and let M represent the initial number of males before 1984.

We have;

In 1984

Number of females = F × 1.026 = 1.026·F

number of males = M × 1.031 = 1.031·M

In 1994

Number of females = 1.026·F × 1.032 = 1.058832·F

Number of males = 1.031·M × 1.032 = 1.063992·M

In 2004

Number of females = 1.058832·F × 1.056 = 1.118126592·F

Number of males = 1.063992·M × 1.049 = 1.116127608·M

In 2014

Number of females = 1.118126592·F × 1.066 = 1.191922947072·F

Number of males = 1.116127608·M × 1.059 = 1.181979136872·M

Therefore, between 1984 and 2014, we have;

The percentage increase of females = 1.191922947072 × 100 - 100 ≈  19.2%

The percentage increase of males = 1.181979136872 × 100 - 100 ≈ 18.2%

Therefore;

The percentage increase of the females is more than the males by (1.191922947072 × 100 - 100) - (1.181979136872 × 100 - 100) ≈ 0.994%

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

They have different y intercepts.

They have the same slope.

Here are 2 examples

y = 3x + 5

y = 3x + 19

The slopes are both three. The y intercepts are 5 for the top equation and 19 for the bottom equation.

They are both lines. That means their  domain is -infinity <x < + infinity

Their range is - infinity <y < + infinity.

We are excluding  examples like x = 3 and x = 5 and y = 1 and y = 3.

It is true that they both are parallel in both cases, but the discussion for each pair is a little different.

Answer:

  x = 2

  m = 15/4

  a = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

When the "base" lines are parallel, all of the triangles are similar. That means corresponding segments are proportional, including corresponding parts of segments.

We see that x corresponds to a partial segment marked 3. That same top-bottom correspondence has another pair of segments marked 2 and 3. That means x=2.

  x/3 = 2/3   ⇒   x = 2

__

The segments marked 'm' and 'a' are "whole side" segments, so we need to put those in proportions with corresponding whole sides. If we use the bottom side, we find ...

  a/3 = 5/(3+6+3) = 5/12   ⇒   a = 5/4 = 1 1/4 . . . . . multiply by 3

and

  m/(6+3) = 5/12   ⇒   m = 15/4 = 3 3/4 . . . . . multiply by 9

__

  x = 2

  m = 15/4

  a = 5/4
