Answer:

405

Step-by-step explanation:

To find sample size, use the following equation, where n = sample size, za/2 = the critical value, p = probability of success, q = probability of failure, and E = margin of error.

n=\frac{(z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} })^{2} *p*q  }{E^2}

The values that are given are p = 0.84 and E = 0.03.

You can solve for the critical value which is equal to the z-score of  (1 - confidence level)/2.  Use the calculator function of invNorm to find the z-score.  The value will given with a negative sign, but you can ignore that.

(1 - 0.9) = 0.1/2 = 0.05

invNorm(0.05, 0, 1) = 1.645

You can also solve for q which is 1 - p.  For this problem q = 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

Plug the values into the equation and solve for n.

n =\frac{(1.645)^2*0.84*0.16}{(0.03)^2}\\n= 404.0997333

Round up to the next number, giving you 405.

replace each star with a digit to make the problem true.Is there only one answer to each problem? ****-***=2
Semenov [28]

Answer: We have two solutions:

1000 - 998 = 2

1001 - 999 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the problem:

****-*** = 2

where each star is a different digit, so in this case, we have a 4 digit number minus a 3 digit number, and the difference is 2.

we know that if we have a number like 99*, we can add a number between 1 and 9 and we will have a 4-digit as a result:

So we could write this as:

1000 - 998 = 2

now, if we add one to each number, the difference will be the same, and the number of digits in each number will remain equal:

1000 - 998 + 1 - 1 = 2

(1000 + 1) - (998 + 1) = 2

1001 - 999 = 2

now, there is a trivial case where we can find other solutions where the digits can be zero, like:

0004 - 0002 = 2

But this is trivial, so we can ignore this case.

Then we have two different solutions.

Sue scored a total of 35 points in two games.she scored 6 times as many points in the second game than in the first.how many mor
kirill115 [55]
Okay,
Both games are: 35
First game: ?
Second game: 6 more than the first.
So,
first we subtract 6 from 35.
35 - 6 = 29
Divide by 2.
49 divided by 2 = 14.5
Add the 6 point= 14.5 + 6 = 20.5
To make sure add.
First game: 14.5
Second game:20.5
14.5 + 20.5 = 35

Which function has the domain x>or= -11
iogann1982 [59]
I'm assuming this is multiple choice and you forgot to post the answers. I'll take a guess and say it probably looks something like this:
y = \sqrt{x + 11}
Because you can't take the square root of a negative number without getting an imaginary result, resulting in the function having a closed domain limit.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Here we have given two catogaries as degree holder and non degree holder.

So here we have to test the hypothesis that,

H0 : p1 = p2 Vs H1 : p1 not= p2

where p1 is population proportion of degree holder.

p2 is population proportion of non degree holder.

Assume alpha = level of significance = 5% = 0.05

The test is two tailed.

Here test statistic follows standard normal distribution.

The test statistic is,

Z = (p1^ - p2^) / SE

where SE = sqrt[(p^*q^)/n1 + (p^*q^)/n2]

p1^ = x1/n1

p2^ = x2/n2

p^ = (x1+x2) / (n1+n2)

This we can done in TI_83 calculator.

steps :

STAT --> TESTS --> 6:2-PropZTest --> ENTER --> Input all the values --> select alternative "not= P2" --> ENTER --> Calculate --> ENTER

Test statistic Z = 1.60

P-value = 0.1090

P-value > alpha

Fail to reject H0 or accept H0 at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion : There is not sufficient evidence to say that  the percent of correct answers is significantly different between degree holders and non-degree holders.
