A television sports commentator wants to estimate the proportion of citizens who "follow professional football." Complete parts

(a) through (c). What sample size should be obtained if he wants to be within 4 percentage points with 96% confidence if he uses an estimate of 48% obtained from a poll? What sample size should be obtained if he wants to be within 4 percentage points with 96% confidence if he does not use any prior estimates? Why are the results from parts (a) and (b) so close?

Answer:

626 and 654

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a  television sports commentator wants to estimate the proportion of citizens who "follow professional football."

Part I:

p = 0.48

q=1-p = 0.52\\se = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } \\\frac{0.4996}{\sqrt{n} } =

Margin of error =2.045*\frac{0.4996}{\sqrt{n} }626

Sample size should be >626

Part II:

If unknown we take p = 0.5 because maximum std error for this

Here everything would be the same except insted of 0.48 we use 0.5

Margin of error = 2.045*\sqrt{\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{n} } } 654

-------------------------

a and b are too close because 0.46 proportion is close to part b proporti0n 0.5

The floor of a canyon has an elevation of −14.5−14.5 feet. Erosion causes the elevation to change by −1.5−1.5 feet per year. How
Alona [7]
<span>The canyon starts at an elevation of (-14.5). After each year, the elevation drops by (-1.5). The equation that could be written for this, then, would be (-14.5 - 1.5x = -31). First, we could add 14.5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the unknown. This would leave -1.5x = -16.5. Next, we can remove the negative signs so both sides of the equation are positive and easier to work with. This leaves 1.5x = 16.5. Finally, dividing both sides by 1.5 gives us "x = 11", which means that after 11 years, the canyon floor will be at -31 feet.</span>

Divide rs 350 in ratio 2:5​
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

100 : 250

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 5 = 7 parts

Divide the quantity by 7 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

350 ÷ 7 = 50 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 50 = 100

5 parts = 5 × 50 = 250

350 = 100 : 250 in the ratio 2 : 5

When Gene and Kelly were planning their trip to Paris, one United States dollar was worth about $\frac{7}{10}$ of a euro. Before
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$280 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

When they were leaving

\$1 \approx \frac{7}{10}$ Euro\\Therefore:\\\$1000 \approx  \dfrac{7}{10}\times 1000 =700$ Euro

When they returned home, they brought 196 Euros.

If\:\:\$1 \approx \frac{7}{10}$ Euro\\Then: 1 Euro $=\$  \dfrac{10}{7}\\\\$Therefore:\\\\196 Euros = \$ 196 \times \dfrac{10}{7} =\$280

They brought back $280 dollars to the United States.
