Suppose the U.S. president wants to estimate the proportion of the population that supports his current policy toward revisions in the health care system. The president wants the margin of error to be 0.05. Assume a 98% level of confidence. The president’s political advisors found a similar survey from two years ago that reported that 46% of people supported health care revisions. (Use t Distribution Table & z Distribution Table.)

Required:

a. How large of a sample is required? (Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)

b. How large of a sample would be necessary if no estimate were available for the proportion supporting current policy? (Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)

Answers

Answer 1

The sample size for part (a) is 540, and the sample size for part (b) is 543 if the margin of error to be 0.05.

What is the margin of error(MOE)?

It is defined as an error that provides an estimate of the percentage of errors in real statistical data.

The formula for finding the MOE:

[tex]\rm MOE = Z\times \dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Where   Z is the z-score at the confidence interval

            s is the standard deviation

            n is the number of samples.

We know:

[tex]\rm MOE = Z \times \sqrt{\dfrac{pq}{n}}[/tex]

We have MOE = 0.05, p = 46% = 0.46,

q = 1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

Z at 0.02(because 98% level of confidence) = 2.33

Plug this value in the formula we get:

[tex]\rm 0.05 = 2.33 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.46\times0.54}{n}}[/tex]

After solving:

n = 539.41 ≈ 540

If no estimate is given:

p = 0.5 and q = 0.5

[tex]\rm 0.05 = 2.33 \times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.5\times0.5}{n}}[/tex]

n = 542.89 ≈ 543

Thus, the sample size for part (a) is 540, and the sample size for part (b) is 543 if the margin of error to be 0.05.

. If you sampled 2000 people, how many would you expect to have BP> 160? Give your answer to the nearest person. Note: I had a bit of an issue encoding rounded answers, so try rounding both up and down if there's an issue!

Answers

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 84 people would be expected to have BP > 160.

Normal Probability Distribution

The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex] is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean. Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.

Researching the problem on the internet, the mean and the standard deviation for the BPs are given, respectively, by:

[tex]\mu = 122, \sigma = 22[/tex].

The proportion of adults with BP > 160 is given by one subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 160, hence:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{160 - 122}{22}[/tex]

Z = 1.73

Z = 1.73 has a p-value of 0.9582.

1 - 0.9582 = 0.0418.

Out of 2000 people:

0.0418 x 2000 = 83.6.

Rounding to the nearest integer, 84 people would be expected to have BP > 160.

What is the polar equation?

A polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction identify each point on a plane.

We have an angle of 120 degree

θ = 120 degree

r = 1 unit

As we know, the coordinate in the polar form from the rectangular form is:

x = rcosθ = cos120 = -1/2

y = rsinθ = sin120 = √3/2

Thus, the coordinate is (-1/2, √3/2) and the missing values will be 2 and 3 if the angle is 120 degree.

Answers

Interest on interest, or compound interest, is the adding of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit. The amount that will be in the account after 10 years is $651.56.

What is compound interest?

Interest on interest, or compound interest, is the adding of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit. It's the outcome of reinvesting interest rather than paying it out so that interest is received on the principal plus previously collected interest in the next quarter.

[tex]A = P(1+ \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

The principal amount is $400 which is invested for a period of 10 years at an interest rate of 5% annually. Therefore, the amount in the account after 10 years will be,

[tex]A = P(1+ \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}\\\\A = \$400 (1+ \dfrac{0.05}{1})^{1 \times 10})\\\\A=\$651.56[/tex]

If Jessica has money into savings accounts worry is 5% in the other is 10% if she has $950 more in the 10% account and the total interest is 281 how much invested is in each savings account

Answers

Answer:

5% account = $1,240

10% account = $2,190

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume the amount of savings in the 5% account is x.

Thus the amount of savings in the 10% account is (x + $950).

We can write the following equation from the interest amount:

[5% x ] + [10% (x + $950)] = $281

5%x + 10%x + $95 = S281

15%x = $186

x = $1,240

There is $1,240 in the 5% account

Therefore, on the 10% account there is $1,240 + $950 = $2,190
