Consultant plans a survey to determine what % of the patients in a particular hospital were satisfied with the care they received after a major treatment. How many such patients should be surveyed so the margin of error for a 90% confidence interval is within .05? Suppose it is known from a past survey that such a % may be about 80%.

Answers

Answer 1

Solution:

Required margin of error  = 0.05

Estimated population proportion p = 0.8

Significance level = 0.10

The [tex]\text{provided estimate population proportion}[/tex] p is 0.8

The significance level, α = 0.1 is [tex]z_c=1.645[/tex], which is obtained by looking into a standard normal probability table.

The number of patients surveyed to estimate the population proportion p within the required margin of error :

[tex]$n \geq p(1-p)\left(\frac{z_c}{E}\right)^2$[/tex]

  [tex]$=0.8\times (1-0.8)\left(\frac{1.64}{0.05}\right)^2$[/tex]

  = 173.15

Therefore, the number of patients surveyed to satisfy the condition is n ≥ 173.15 and  it must be an integer number.

Thus we conclude that the number of patients surveyed so the margin of error of 90% confidence interval is within 0.05 are n= 174.

what is the answer to a+5a​

Answers

Answer: 6a

Step-by-step explanation:

A + 5A just equals 6A. Let me know if I answered incorrectly or if you want me to clarify.

a + 5a = 6a

a and 5a have the same variable ‘a’

Therefore, there are 5a’s and 1 a

What is the sum of (2n – 5m) and (n + m)?

Answers

Answer:

3n - 4m

Step-by-step explanation:

(2n-5m)+(n+m)

so we get this equation and from here, we expand the equation by removing the brackets, you should get:

2n-5m+n+m and just solve from here.

to make it easier, put the like terms together:

2n+n+m-5m

= 3n-4m

Answer:

3n - 4m

Step-by-step explanation:

(2n – 5m) and (n + m) in this case have the same value if the parentheses are removed.  We end up with:

2n – 5m

 n +   m

--------------        Grouping like terms vertically, as shown here, may make this

                         addition a bit easier.

2n – 5m

10) The second angle in a triangle is 3° less than twice the first angle. The third angle measure 8° more than
twice the first angle Find each angle.

Answers

Answer:

35, 67 and 78

Step-by-step explanation:

the angles are:

n, 2n-3 and 2n+8

there are 180 degrees in a triangle, so adding those terms together will give us 180

5n + 5 = 180

180 - 5 = 175

5n = 175

175 / 5 = 35

n = 35

now we have n we can put it in to the formula we have for the angles at the start:

n = 35

2n - 3 = 67

2n + 8 = 78

so the angles are

35, 67 and 78

Answers

Answer:

2r² - 60r - 45 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Hang on this is going to be convoluted

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

Area of pond

a = πr²

Area of path

a = πr²/10

Combined Area

a = πr² + πr²/10

a = π(r² + r²/10)

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

The Combined Area can also be expressed as

a = π(r + 1.5)²

a = π(r² + 3r + 2.25)

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

Set the areas equal

π(r² + r²/10) = π(r² + 3r + 2.25)

Divide both sides by π

r² + r²/10 = r² + 3r + 2.25

Subtract r² from both sides

r²/10 = 3r + 2.25

Multiply both sides by 20

2r² = 60r + 45

Subtract 60r + 45 from both sides

2r² - 60r - 45 = 0

Jim, Carla and Tomy are members of the same family. Carla is 5 years older than Jim. Tomy is 6 years older than Carla. The sum of their three ages is 31 years. How old is each one them?​

Answers

We are given these three people age below:

Jim's ageCarla's ageTomy's age

We define the age of Jim as any variable, because the problem doesn't give any specific age. I will define Jim's age as x.

Jim's age = x

Next, Carla is 5 years older than Jim. That means if Carla is 5 years older, her age would be x+5.

Carla's age = x+5

Then Tomy is 6 years older than Carla. That means the age would be 6+(x+5).

Tomy's age = 6+(x+5)

The sum of their three ages is 31 years old. That means we add all these ages and equal to 31.

[tex] \large{x + x + 5 + 6 + x + 5 = 31}[/tex]

Combine like terms and solve for x.

[tex] \large{3x + 16 = 31} \\ \large{3x = 31 - 16} \\ \large{3x = 15} \\ \large{x = 5}[/tex]

Then we substitute the value of x in ages to find these three people ages.

Jim's age = x = 5Carla's age = x+5 = 5+5 = 10Tomy's age = 6+(x+5) = 6+(5+5) = 6+10 = 16.

Answer

Jim's age = 5Carla's age = 10Tomy's age = 16

If you put $25 each month into a savings account that paid a simple interest rate of 6.5% each year, how much would you have in your account at the end of two years?

Answers

Answer:

$339.00

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put $25 each month into a savings account that paid a simple interest rate of 6.5% each year, how much would you have in your account at the end of two years?

We solve the above question using the Equation:

A = P(1 + rt)

P = Principal = Amount deposited each month = $25

The amount deposited in a year = $25 × 12 months = 300

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 6.5%/100 = 0.065 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 300(1 + (0.065 × 2)) = 339

A = $339.00

Therefore, you would have $339 in your account after 2 years

Joseph claims that a scatterplot in which the y-values increase as the x-values increase must have a linear association. Amy claims that the scatterplot could have a nonlinear association. Which statement about their claims is true?
Joseph is correct because only a line will increase along the whole data set. The scatterplot will have a positive, linear association.
Joseph is correct because only a line will decrease along the whole data set. The scatterplot will have a negative, linear association.
Amy is correct because a nonlinear association could increase along the whole data set, while being steeper in some parts than others. The scatterplot could be linear or nonlinear.
Amy is correct because only a nonlinear association could increase along the whole data set. A line has the same slope at any point, but a curve can get steeper at different points.

Answers

Answer: Choice C

Amy is correct because a nonlinear association could increase along the whole data set, while being steeper in some parts than others. The scatterplot could be linear or nonlinear.

======================================================

Explanation:

Just because the data points trend upward (as you go from left to right), it does not mean the data is linearly associated.

Consider a parabola that goes uphill, or an exponential curve that does the same. Both are nonlinear. If we have points close to or on these nonlinear curves, then we consider the scatterplot to have nonlinear association.

Also, you could have points randomly scattered about that don't fit either of those two functions, or any elementary math function your teacher has discussed so far, and yet the points could trend upward. If the points are not close to the same straight line, then we don't have linear association.

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

In short, if the points all fall on the same line or close to it, then we have linear association. Otherwise, we have nonlinear association of some kind.

Joseph's claim that an increasing trend is not enough evidence to conclude the scatterplot is linear or not.

Answer:

Joseph claims that a scatterplot in which the y-values increase as the x-values increase must have a linear association. Amy claims that the scatterplot could have a nonlinear association. Which statement about their claims is true?

A) Joseph is correct because only a line will increase along the whole data set.  The scatterplot will have a positive, linear association.

B) Joseph is correct because only a line will decrease along the whole data set.  The scatterplot will have a negative, linear association.

C) Amy is correct because a nonlinear association could increase along the whole data set, while being steeper in some parts than others. The scatter plot could be linear or nonlinear.

D) Amy is correct because only a nonlinear association could increase along the whole data set. A line has the same slope at any point, but a curve can get steeper at different points.

Points D and E are midpoints of the sides of triangle ABC. The perimeter or the triangle is 48 units. What is the value of t?

Answers

Answer:

2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangle are acute, obtuse, scalene, isosceles, equilateral and right angled triangle.

Since point D and E are midpoints of the sides of triangle ABC, hence:

AD = BD = 3t, BE = CE = 4t, AC = 7t + 6

The perimeter of triangle ABC = AC + BC + AB = AC + AD + BD + BE + CE;

Substituting:

48 = 7t + 6 + 3t + 3t + 4t + 4t = 21t + 6

48 = 21t + 6

21t = 42

t = 2 units
