Suppose you want to estimate the proportion of traditional college students on your campus who own their own car. From research on other college campuses, you believe the proportion will be near 20%. What sample size is needed if you wish to be 99% confident that your estimate is within 0.02 of the true proportion?

2,655 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score for a 99% confidence interval is z = 2.576

The standard error for a proportion p is:

For a proportion of p =0.20, in order to ensure a standard error of 0.02, the sample size 'n' must be:

Rounding up to the next whole student, the sample size needed is 2,655 students.

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or
