In a study of government financial aid for college​ students, it becomes necessary to estimate the percentage of​ full-time college students who earn a​ bachelor's degree in four years or less. Find the sample size needed to estimate that percentage. Use a 0.03 margin of error and use a confidence level of 95​%. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.


A.) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage to be estimated.

n=


B.)Assume prior studies have shown that about 55%
of​ full-time students earn​ bachelor's degrees in four years or less.

n=

c. Does the added knowledge in part​ (b) have much of an effect on the sample​ size?

Answers

Answer 1
The sample size needed to estimate the population proportion of a data within a margin of error, M, to a confidence level of 1 - α, with a previous population proportion estimate, p, is given by:

[tex]n=p(1-p)\left( \frac{z_{\alpha/2}}{M} \right)^2[/tex]

Part A:

Given a margin of error of 0.03 a confidence level of 95​%. Since we have know prior knowledge of the proportion estimate, we make use of the consevartive proportion estimate of 50% or 0.05.

[tex]z_{\alpha/2}[/tex] for 95% confidence is 1.96.

Therefore, the required sample size is given by

[tex]n=0.5(1-0.5)\left( \frac{1.96}{0.03} \right)^2 \\ \\ =0.5(0.5)(65.33)^2=0.25(4,268) \\ \\ =1,067.11[/tex]

Therefore, the required sample size is 1,068.



Part B:

Given that prior studies have shown that about 55% of​ full-time students earn​ bachelor's degrees in four years or less.

Thus, p becomes 55% = 0.55 and the required sample size is given by

[tex]n=0.55(1-0.55)\left( \frac{1.96}{0.03} \right)^2 \\ \\ =0.55(0.45)(65.33)^2=0.2475(4,268) \\ \\ =1,056.44[/tex]

Therefore, the required sample size is 1,057.



Part C:

When we dont know the additional infromation (i.e. in part A), we obtained that the required sample size is 1,068 but after we know the information our sample size becomes 1,057.

Though there is a difference between both sample sizes but the difference is not much and hence, the knowledge of the additional information does not have much of an effect on the sample size.

Answer 2

The required sample size is [tex]1,068[/tex]

A) Significance Level, [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], Margin of Error,[tex]E=0.03[/tex]

The provided estimate of proportion p is, [tex]p=0.5[/tex]

The critical value for significance level, [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex] is [tex]1.96[/tex].

The following formula is used to compute the minimum sample size required to estimate the population proportion p within the required margin of error:

[tex]n>=p(1-p)\dfrac{Z_c}{E^2}^{2}[/tex]

Put Values , we get

[tex]n=0.5(1-0.5)\dfrac{1.96}{0.03^2}^{2}\\\\n=0.5(0.5)(65.33)^2\\\\n=0.25(4,268)[/tex]

[tex]n=1067.11[/tex]

Therefore, the sample size needed to satisfy the condition [tex]n>=1067.11[/tex] and it must be an integer number, we conclude that the minimum required sample size is [tex]n=1068[/tex]

Sample size, [tex]1068[/tex]

B) Significance Level, [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], Margin of Error,[tex]E=0.03[/tex]

The provided estimate of proportion p is, [tex]p=0.55[/tex]

The critical value for significance level, [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex] is [tex]1.96[/tex].

The following formula is used to compute the minimum sample size required to estimate the population proportion p within the required margin of error:

[tex]n>=p(1-p)\dfrac{Z_c}{E^2}^{2}[/tex]

Put Values , we get

[tex]n=0.55(1-0.55)\dfrac{1.96}{0.03^2}^{2}\\\\n=0.55(0.45)(65.33)^2\\\\n=0.2475(4,268)[/tex]

[tex]n=1056.44[/tex]

Therefore, the sample size needed to satisfy the condition [tex]n>=1056.44[/tex] and it must be an integer number, we conclude that the minimum required sample size is [tex]n=1057[/tex]

Sample size, [tex]1057[/tex]

C)The difference between both the part a and b is very less so added knowledge of the extra information does not have much effect on sample size.

how many time more respondents chose either black or silver than red round to the nearest tenth if necessary

Silver = 0.2
Black = 0.14
Red = 0.09

Answers

In this question you are asked to compare "either black or silver" with "red" and allowed to round up to the nearest tenth. Silver is already rounded to tenth. If you round the black and red then
Silver= 0.2
Black = 0.1  ---> round down because the 0.04 value is 4, which was lower than 5
Red= 0.1 -->round up because the 0.09 value is 9, which was higher than 5

The word 'either black or silver" mean that combination of the frequency. Then the equation should be: black + silver= 0.1 + 0.2= 0.3
If you compare it with red, then: 0.3/ red= 0.3 / 0.1 = 3 times more

Celina can walk 4 miles in 1 hour and can run 8 miles in 1 hour. What percent of Celina’s average running speed is her average walking speed? A. 25% B. 50% C. 75% D. 100%

Answers

Okay. So, we're looking for the percentage of Celina's running speed as her walking speed. Her running sped is 8 mph and her walking speed is 4mph. All we have to do is 4/8 = x/100. You put change/original and x/100, because we're looking for the percent of change from running speed to walking speed.  Cross multiply the values to get 400 = 8x. Divide each side by 8 to isolate the "x". 400/8 is 50. x = 50. Celina's walking speed is 50% of her running speed. The answer is B: 50%.

There are different kind of speed in mathematics like average speed, instantaneous peed, to solve this question we need to know the concept of average speed. Therefore the correct option is option B

What is average speed?

Average speed is defined as the total sum of distance divided by total sum of time

Mathematically,

Average speed  = total distance ÷total time taken

Here we have to find the percent of of Celina’s average running speed

So for this we will apply formula as

(Difference in distance ÷original distance)×100

So from question, Celina walk  4 miles in 1 hour  and can run 8 miles in 1 hour so, the the difference in distance between running and walking is 8-4= 4

So to find the percent of Celina’s average running speed is her average walking speed = (4 ÷8)=50%

Therefore, Celina’s average running speed is her average walking speed is 50%. The correct option is Option B

The floor of a canyon has an elevation of −14.5−14.5 feet. Erosion causes the elevation to change by −1.5−1.5 feet per year. How many years will it take for the canyon floor to have an elevation of −31−31 feet?

Answers

The canyon starts at an elevation of (-14.5). After each year, the elevation drops by (-1.5). The equation that could be written for this, then, would be (-14.5 - 1.5x = -31). First, we could add 14.5 to both sides of the equation to isolate the unknown. This would leave -1.5x = -16.5. Next, we can remove the negative signs so both sides of the equation are positive and easier to work with. This leaves 1.5x = 16.5. Finally, dividing both sides by 1.5 gives us "x = 11", which means that after 11 years, the canyon floor will be at -31 feet.

how long would it take to travel 200 meters at 5 m/s

Answers

Hello! To answer this question, all you have to do is divide the amount traveled by the speed per second. 200/5 is 40. It would take 40 seconds to travel 200 meters.

To travel 200 meters at 5 m/s, it would take 40 seconds.

To travel 200 meters at 5 m/s, we can use the formula for speed:

speed = distance / time

5 m/s = 200 meters / time

time = 200 meters / 5 m/s = 40 seconds

The height of the pole is 38.5 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Length of shadow of stop sign is [tex]l=2\rm \; ft[/tex].

The length of shadow of pole is [tex]L=11\rm \; ft[/tex].

Now, the shadow is measured at the same time for both the cases. So, the triangles formed by stop sign and its shadow, and pole and its shadow will be similar.

For similar triangles, the sides are always in same proportion.

Solve for the length of pole as,

[tex]\dfrac{H}{h}=\dfrac{L}{l}\\\dfrac{H}{7}=\dfrac{11}{2}\\H=7\times 5.5\\H=38.5[/tex]

Therefore, the height of the pole is 38.5 m.

1520 divided by 83 with remainder

Answers

To find 1520 divided by 83 with the remainder, divide 1520 by 83, which results in 18 with a remainder of 26.

The question from the student involves dividing 1520 by 83 and finding the remainder. To perform this calculation, we divide 1520 by 83. The quotient is the whole number result of the division, and the remainder is what is left over after the division.

Here's how you'd calculate it:

Divide 1520 by 83.

Find the whole number quotient, which is the number of times 83 goes into 1520 completely.

Calculate the remainder by subtracting the product of the quotient and 83 from 1520.

In this case, 1520 \\div 83 is 18 with a remainder of 14, since 83 x 18 = 1494, and 1520 - 1494 = 26. Therefore, 1520 divided by 83 equals 18 with a remainder of 26.
