n=350

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions

random sample taken (variable of interest)

$\hat p=0.35$ estimated proportion (value assumed)

true population proportion

Confidence =0.95 or 95% (value assumed)

Me=0.05 (value assumed)

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

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

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 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=-1.96, z_{1-\alpha/2}=1.96$

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 $ME =\pm 0.05$ 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)

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.35(1-0.35)}{(\frac{0.05}{1.96})^2}=349.586$

And rounded up we have that n=350

You have 2 sides that are 2 cms and you have 6 sides that are 1/2 cm and you have 4 sides that are 1 cm. the smallest sides are 1/2 the medium sized sides are 1 and the smallest are 1/2. so to find the perimeter you have to add them all up together so your answer will be 11 cm's

Answer from: Quest

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does

Max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a) the median of max’s data is 250 b) more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c) a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d) every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
