Suppose we wanted the margin of error for the 99% confidence level to be about 2.75%. What is the smallest sample size we could take to achieve this? Note: For consistency's sake, round your z* value to 3 decimal places before calculating the necessary sample size.

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.0275}{2.576})^2}=2193.64$

And rounded up we have that n=2194

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-2.576, t_{1-\alpha/2}=2.576$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.0275$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Since we don't have prior information for the true proportion we can use $\hat p=0.5$ as an estimator. And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.0275}{2.576})^2}=2193.64$

And rounded up we have that n=2194

i think it would be 43 movies that would have to be watched.

step-by-step explanation:

think about it. for the second plan, every month is 8 dollars. 8 x 12= 96. so thats the number for the second plan. now for the first plan, its annual meaning you have to pay 10 dollars every year. so now you have to get an equivalent amount of 86 since 96-10=86. 86 divided by 2 since every movie costs 2$ then you would have to watch 43 movies a year to get the same as the second plan. i really hoped this . have a wonderful day as well!

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour = $(1/1000)/(1/3600)=3600/1000=18/5=3.6 kilometer/hour$

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second= $15*3.6=54 kilometer/hour$ which is the required answer.

Use this data in the problem below. follow the steps carefully. round to the nearest tenth. lot 3: week 1: 345 week 2: 340 week 3: 400 week 4: 325 step 1. jim enters the data and calculates the average or mean. step 2. jim calculates the deviation from the mean by subtracting the mean from each value. step 3. jim squares each deviation to remove negative signs. step 4. jim sums the squares of each deviation and divides by the count for the variance. step 5. jim takes the square root of the variance to find the standard deviation.
