According to an independent research, a point estimate of the proportion of U. S. consumers of black tea is p = 0.76. Calculate the sample size needed to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true value of p is less than 0.015? Use the z-value rounded to two decimal places to obtain the answer. 4072.69

The sample size needed is 3115.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of .

The margin of error is:

Point estimate:

95% confidence level

So , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of , so .

Calculate the sample size needed to be 95% confident that the error in estimating the true value of p is less than 0.015?

This is n for which M = 0.015. So

Rounding up:

The sample size needed is 3115.

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12

the answer

b. they are parallel and will never intersect.
