1) A school has 1500 students and they are going to vote as to whether they will completely convert the school completely off fossil fuels. How many students would you have to poll to be 95% confident of the outcome within /- 3% of the vote

Answers

Answer 1

Using the z-distribution, it is found that 1068 students have to be polled to be 95% confident of the outcome within +/- 3% of the vote.

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.

We have no estimate for the true proportion, hence we use [tex]\pi = 0.5[/tex], and solve for n when M = 0.03. Then:

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

[tex]0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{(0.5)(0.5)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96(0.5)[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96(0.5)}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.96(0.5)}{0.03}\right)^2[/tex]

n = 1067.11.

Rounding up, 1068 students have to be polled to be 95% confident of the outcome within +/- 3% of the vote.

1. The mark up price of a pair of shoes which costs $125. 00 is 8. 35%. A)What is the final price? If the tax is 6 1/2% How much will be paid for that pair of shoes?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The wholesale price of the shoes is 125 dollars

The retailer marks it uu to 35% more to the wholesale price.

So the price is now 125 + 35% * 125 dollars

That amount is 125 + 35/100 * 125 = 125 + 43.75 = 168.75

The government wants its cut of 6.5% of the selling price

So the final price is 168.75 + 168.75 * 6.5/100

The final price is 168.75 + 10.97 = 179.72

Answer: A customer pays 179.72 dollars.

Can a right triangle have the side lengths 4 mm, 13 mm, and 10 mm?

Justify your reasoning.

Answers

Answer: No

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Using Pythagoras Theorem,
Hypotenuse^2 = 1st Side^2 + 2nd Side^2

Consider the longest number, ie. 13mm as the Hypotenuse.

=> 13^2 = 4^2 + 10^2
=> 169 = 116
LHS is not Equal to RHS

Therefore, this denies the Pythagoras Theorem. Hence, a Right triangle cannot have these side lengths.

Answer:

No, because the given values do not produce a correct equation when plugged into the Pythagorean Theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. (Also called Pythagoras Theorem)

The Pythagorean Theorem is true for ALL right triangles, meaning that if the side lengths don't work for it, the given triangle can not be a right triangle.

The theorem simply states that the sum of the squares of the two legs must add up to the square of the hypotenuse.

Note that the hypotenuse of a triangle is the side opposite to the right angle.

The Pythagorean Theorem can be easily written as the following expression:

a^2+b^2=c^2

This is where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

We can plug our given values in to see if it's correct.

If it is a right triangle, the longest side will always be the hypotenuse, so we can safely set c as 13.

4^2+10^2=13^2

Simplify to see if it's true

16+100=169

116≠169

Therefore, a right triangle can not have these given side lengths.

Answers

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.  

casey sight the top of an 84 foot tall lighthouse at an angle of elevation of 58. if casey is 6 feet tall how far is he standing from the base of the lighthouse

Answers

Do u have a pic pls that might help
Answer: Casey is standing 52.5 feet from the
lighthouse
Step-by-step explanation:
A right angle triangle is formed. The height of
the lighthouse represents the opposite side
of the right angle triangle. The distance, h
from the lighthouse to where Casey is
standing represents the adjacent side of the
right angle triangle. Casey's line of sight
along the angle of elevation represents the
hypotenuse.
To determine h, we would apply
the tangent trigonometric ratio.
Tan 0, =opposite side/adjacent side.
Therefore,
Tan 58 = 84/h
h = 84/tan 58 = 84/1.6
h= 52.5 feet

The mass of a block of ice decreases from 80kg to 64kg.
Calculate the percentage decrease.

Answers

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The percentage decrease will be 20%.

What are Percentages?

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

The percentage change is calculated as,

Percentage Change= (Initial Value - Final value)/Initial Value × 100%

Given initially the mass is 80kg, while the final mass is 64 kg, therefore, the percentage change can be calculated as,

Percentage change = (80-64)/80 × 100% = 20%

Hence, the percentage decrease will be 20%.
