Suppose you want to investigate the proportion of women police officers. How large should a sample be if the margin of error is .05 for a 92% confidence interval

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A sample of 307 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

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]1-\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 zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is of:

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

In this question, we have that:

We dont know the true proportion of women police officers, so we use [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex], which is when the largest sample size would be needed.

92% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.08[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.08}{2} = 0.96[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.75[/tex].

How large should a sample be if the margin of error is .05 for a 92% confidence interval

We need a sample of n, and n is found when [tex]M = 0.05[/tex]. So

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

[tex]0.05 = 1.75\sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.75*0.5[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 17.5[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (17.5)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 306.25[/tex]

Rounding up

A sample of 307 is needed.

Raul simplified the expression, as shown below.

–[3h + 7h(2 – h)] = –[10h(2 – h)] = –[20h – h] = –19h

Describe the error(s) in Raul’s work.

Answers

Answer:

Raul's errors are in the application of the distributive property(he applied it wrongly), in not respecting the precedence of operations, and in the multiplication of two terms with the same base(we add the exponent).

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:

The distributive property of multiplication is:

a*(b + c) = a*b + a*c

Precedence of operations:

First multiplication, then addition.

Multiplication of terms with the same base:

The multiplication of h*h = h², which Raul missed.

The correct simplification is given by:

[tex]-[3h + 7h(2-h)] = -[3h + 14h - 7h^2] = -[17h - 7h^2]=7h^2 - 17h[/tex]

Answer:

he should have  worked out 7h(2 - h) first before adding the 3h. (first step)

2nd step he multiplied the 2 by -10h  but he also should have multiplied the -h by the -10h ( Distributive law)

The midpoint of segment QR is M(-2, 9). One end point of segment QR is Q(-8, 12). Find the coordinates of the other endpoint, R.

Answers

Here,

The midpoint of segment QR is M

m(-2,9) x3=-2,y3=9

Q=(-8,12)x1=-8,y1=12

R=x2,y2

we know that,

[tex]\tt{ m=\dfrac{Q+R}{2} }[/tex] ⠀

So,

x3=[tex]\tt{\dfrac{x1+x2}{2} }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{-2=\dfrac{-8+x2}{2} }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{-2×2=-8+x2 }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{x2=8-4 }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{x2=4 }[/tex] ⠀

x2=4

now we find the y coordinate y2.

y3=[tex]\tt{\dfrac{y1+y2}{2} }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{9=\dfrac{12+y2}{2} }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{9×2=12+y2 }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{y2=18-12 }[/tex] ⠀

[tex]\tt{y2=6 }[/tex] ⠀

y2=6

Now we get the two coordinate of R

so,

R=(x2,y2)=(4,6)

Answer:

8 cups

Step-by-step explanation

8 cups. There are 2 cups in one pint and two pints in one quart. To Get 8 cups all you do is multiple the quartz by 2 to get the amount of pints, and multiply the pints by 2 to get the number of cups. Thus the equation would be 2 * 2 = 4 and 4 * 2 = 8.

Answer:

D. 8 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Quart is 4 cups therefore you multiply

4 x 2 = 8

noted psychic was tested for extrasensory perception (ESP).

How large a sample n would you need to estimate p with margin of error 0.01 and 95% confidence

Answer:

A sample of 11352 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

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]1-\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 zscore that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is given by:

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

For this problem, we have that:

400 cards, 120 cases were correct. So

[tex]p = \frac{120}{400} = 0.3[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].

How large a sample n would you need to estimate p with margin of error 0.01 and 95% confidence

We would need a sample of size n, and n is found when [tex]M = 0.01[/tex]. So

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

[tex]0.01 = 2.325\sqrt{\frac{0.3*0.7}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.01\sqrt{n} = 2.325\sqrt{0.3*0.7}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.325\sqrt{0.3*0.7}}{0.01}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.325\sqrt{0.3*0.7}}{0.01})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 11351.8[/tex]
