A sociologist wishes to conduct a poll to estimate the percentage of Americans who favor affirmative action program for women and minorities for admission to colleges and universities. What sample size should be obtained if she wishes the estimate to be within a margin of error of 0.04, with 95% confidence, if she uses a 2003 estimate of 0.55 obtained from a Gallup Youth Survey

A sample of 595 should be obtained.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

Estimate of 0.55

This means that $\pi = 0.55$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96 .

What sample size should be obtained if she wishes the estimate to be within a margin of error of 0.04?

This is n for which M = 0.04. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.04 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.55*0.45}{n}}$

$0.04\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.55*0.45}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.55*0.45}}{0.04}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.55*0.45}}{0.04})^2$

n = 594.2

Rounding up,

A sample of 595 should be obtained.

Answer from: Quest

$y> \frac{1}{3}x$ and y≤ -x +4 .

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be = $\frac{1-0}{3-0} = \frac{1}{3}$ .

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= $\frac{1}{3}$ and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

$y=\frac{1}{3}x$ .

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

$y> \frac{1}{3}x$ .

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be = $\frac{4-1}{0-3} = \frac{3}{-3}=-1$ .

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be

y≤ -x +4 .
Write a system of inequalities to represent the shaded portion of the graph.
