Suppose that, as course instructor, you decide instead that you want to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of all Cal Poly students who have ever marched in a Memorial Day Parade, and that you would like the margin of error of your 95% confidence interval to be .05, and that you would like to use a (most) conservative sample size for this task. What sample size should you use

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 385

Step-by-step explanation:

If prior population proportion p is unknown, then the formula to compute sample size will be:

[tex]n= 0.25(\frac{z^*}{E})^2[/tex]

where, E= Margin of error, z* = Critical zvalue

Given: E= 0.05

Critical value for 95% confidence = 1.96

Required sample size: [tex]n=0.25(\frac{1.96}{0.05})^2[/tex]

[tex]\\=384.16\approx385[/tex]

Hence, the required sample size = 385

The odds of winning a contest are approximately 5:1476. How many winners are there likely to be if there are 50000 participants?

Answers

i think it might be 295

Answer:

Approximately 169

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up as fractions and use cross multiplilcation to solve for the unknown.

These are our fractions from the information we are given; the winners represent the numerators (and x is the unknown, becuase we don't yet know how many winners there will be with 50000 participants). Note that the denominator on the first fraction is (1476 + 5) because we want it to represent TOTAL amount of particpants in the ratio:

[tex]\frac{5}{1481} = \frac{x}{50000}[/tex]

Now cross multiply by multiplying numerators and denominators that are ACROSS from each other, so 5 * 50000 and 1481 * x; now we have:

250000 = 1481x

Now to isolate x (to know its value) we need to divide both sides by 1481, and we are left with:

168.8 = x

But I rounded up to 169.

The text book store sold a combined total of 326 history and chemistry textbooks in a week. The number of chemistry textbooks sold was 86 less than the number of history textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type was sold?

Answers

Answer:

The sentence

"The Number of Chem textbooks sold is 86 less than the number of History textbooks"

This seems to be the confusing part.

Now look at it this way...

'If CHM text is 86 less than History text... It also means that History Text is 86 More than CHM'

This expression can be written as

Let History Text be "H"

Let CHM text be "C"

C - 86 = H

or

C=H + 86.......1

First line of this question is interpreted thus

H + C = 326.......2

From eqn 1... C=H+86

Substitute into Eqn 2

H + C=326

H + (H+86)=326

H+H=326-86

2H=240

H=240/2

H=120.

C=H+86

C=120+86

C=206.

This answer is correct... Why?

The key statement says .. The Number of CHM sold is 86 less than History...

Also interpreted as

The Number of CHM – 86 = History

206 - 86 =120.

The foci of the hyperbola will be (3, -2 + √29) and (3, -2 - √29). Then the correct option is B.

What is a hyperbola?

The hyperbola is the locus of a point such that the difference of distance from point P to two non-movable points. These two points are called foci of hyperbola.

The hyperbolic equation is given as,

(y - k)² /a² - (x - h)² /b² = 1

Then the foci of the hyperbola are given as,

(h, k + c) and (h, k - c)

The equation of the hyperbola is given below.

(y + 2)² /25 - (x - 3)² / 4 = 1

Compare the equations, then we have

(h, k) = (3, -2)

a² = 25

b² = 4

Then the value of 'c' is given as,

c² = a² + b²

c² = 25 + 4

c² = 29

c = √29

Then the foci of the hyperbola will be (3, -2 + √29) and (3, -2 - √29). Then the correct option is B.

A radioactive substance decays to 30% of its original mass in 15 months. Determine the half-life of this radioactive substance to the nearest tenth. Show your work.

please help

Answers

Answer:

The half-life of this radioactive substance is of 8.6 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay of an amount:

The equation that models an amount after t units of time, subject to exponential decay, is given by:

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

In which A(0) is the initial amount and r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

A radioactive substance decays to 30% of its original mass in 15 months.

This means that [tex]A(15) = 0.3A(0)[/tex]. We use this to find 1 - r.

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(1-r)^t[/tex]

[tex]0.3A(0) = A(0)(1-r)^{15}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^{15} = 0.3[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[15]{(1-r)^{15}} = \sqrt[15]{0.3}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = (0.3)^{\frac{1}{15}}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.9229[/tex]

So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.9229)^t[/tex]

Determine the half-life of this radioactive substance to the nearest tenth.

This is t for which A(t) = 0.5A(0). So

[tex]A(t) = A(0)(0.9229)^t[/tex]

[tex]0.5A(0) = A(0)(0.9229)^t[/tex]

[tex](0.9229)^t = 0.5[/tex]

[tex]\log{(0.9229)^t} = \log{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]t\log{0.9229} = \log{0.5}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{\log{0.5}}{\log{0.9229}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 8.6[/tex]

The half-life of this radioactive substance is of 8.6 months.

A landowner wants to find the distance d across a pond. The two overlapping right triangles are similar . Using the measurements shown , what is d?

Answers

Answer:

96 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the two overlapping triangles are similar in the figure.

The landowner wishes to find the distance across the pond. The distance is d.

From the figure, since the two triangles are similar, therefore we can write :

[tex]$\frac{d}{(24+40)}=\frac{60}{40}$[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{d}{64}=\frac{60}{40}$[/tex]

[tex]$d = \frac{60}{40} \times 64$[/tex]

[tex]$d = \frac{6}{4} \times 64$[/tex]

d = 6 x 16

  = 96 m

Therefore, the distance across the pond is d = 96 m
