It is estimated that 60% of U.S. households subscribe to cable TV. You would like to verify this statement for your class in mass communications. If you want your estimate to be within 5 percentage points, with a 95% level of confidence, how many households should you sample

Answers

Answer 1

Using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, it is found that you should sample 577 households.

What is a confidence interval of proportions?

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

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

In which:

[tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.

The margin of error is given by:

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

In this problem, we have a 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 the critical value is z = 1.96.

In this problem, the estimate is of [tex]\pi = 0.6[/tex], and we want a margin of error of M = 0.05, hence we solve for n to find the sample size.

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

[tex]0.05 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.6(0.4)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.05\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.6(0.4)}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.6(0.4)}}{0.05}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.6(0.4)}}{0.05}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 576.24[/tex]

Rounding up, you should sample 577 households.

A rectangular sheet of metal measures 8 inches by 12 inches. The metal is worth $2.00 per square inch. How much is the sheet of metal worth?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the sheet metal

Area = L * w

L = 12

w = 8

Area = 12 * 8

Area = 96 square inches.

Mr. Jones is building the garage shown below. What is the volume of the garage?

Answers

Answer: 891 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

     We can break the garage into two different parts. The roof, triangular, and the rest, rectangular. I will start by solving for the rectangular part.

     V = L * W * H

     V = 12 ft * 9 ft * 7.5 ft

     V = 810 ft³

     Now, I will solve for the triangular part, the roof. First, 9 ft - 7.5 ft = 1.5 ft, so the height of just the roof is 1.5 ft.

     V = [tex]\frac{L * W * H}{2}[/tex]

     V = [tex]\frac{12 * 9* 1.5}{2}[/tex]

     V = [tex]\frac{162}{2}[/tex]

     V = 81 ft³

     Lastly, I will add the two different parts together.

810 ft³ + 81 ft³ = 891 ft³

You also pay $83.00 for your health insurance. You also put 3% of your gross pay into 401(k). How much is
your take home pay?

Answers

Answer:

$537.87

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to determine our total pay which will be 40 hours times our $15 per hour to be $600. For the extra hours above 40, we are payed 1.5 times as much.

$15 * 1.5 = $22.5 * (44-40) = $90 additional pay

$600 + $90 = $690 total pay

Now, we calculate all of our deductions.

Subtract social security to be

690 * (1-0.0625) = $646.875

Medicare Deduction

646.875 * 0.9855 = $637.50

Health Insurance

$637.50-83 = $554.50

401k Deduction

$554.50 * 0.97 = $537.87

three different purposes for determining the derivative.

Answers

Answer:

A derivative is a slope function. If you want to find the slope anywhere along the function, you can.

Explanation:

Given: What is the purpose of a derivative?

A derivative is a slope function: m=f'(x=value). If you want to find the slope anywhere along the function, you can.

If you want to find a tangent line at a specific point along the function you can, using the slope and the point: y−y1=m(x−x1)

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

A derivative is a slope function, so it allows you to find the slope anywhere along a function where it's continuous.

For example, the derivative of velocity is acceleration, which is applicable in real life.

You can also find a tangent line at a specific point by finding the slope of the function at that point and then using point-slope form [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex] to get your tangent line.

In the given figure, Angle y is equal to Angle adjacent to 52° and 90° by Vertical opposite angle pair

And since they for straight line, their Angle sum will be equal to 180°

that is :

[tex]\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:y + 52 + 90 = 180[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:y + 142 = 180[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:y = 180 - 142[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:y =38 \degree[/tex]

Answer:

y = 38°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the angles in a straight line are added up to 180°.

So,

90 + y + 52 = 180

142 + y = 180

y  = 180 - 142

y =  38°

Its unique structure traps air that insulates their bodies from the cold water. When an otter's fur is covered in oil, it can no longer keep the otter warm. This can cause hypothermia and even death. If the otter tries to clean its fur, it will ingest the oil, which is poisonous. In 1989, the Exxon Valdez hit a reef in Alaska. The ship spilled over ten million gallons of oil into the ocean.
