Answer: 208.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find the minimum sample size is given by :-
(1)
, where z* = critical z-value (two tailed).
= Standard deviation ( from prior study ) and E = Margin of error.
As per given , we have
Margin of error : E= 0.29
Confidence level = 85%
Significance level =
Using z-table , the critical value (two -tailed)=
As per previous study , Variance =
Now, the required minimum sample size = 
[Substitute the values in formula (1)]
[ Round to the next integer]
Hence, the minimum number of third graders that must be included in a sample = 208.
Step-by-step explanation:
the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).
I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.
there is no factor r that creates
15×r = 9
and
9×r = 5/27
it would mean that
15 × r² = 5/27
r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81
r = 1/9
but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9
and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27
so, this can't be right.
on the other hand
15 × r = 9
r = 9/15 = 3/5
and then
9 × 3/5 = 27/5
so, either the sequence should have been
15, 5/3, 5/27
or (and I suspect this to be true)
15, 9, 27/5
under that assumption we have
s1 = 15
r = 3/5
sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)
s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =
= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =
= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151
Answer:
2/145
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the number of Kentucky's representatives to the total number of representatives is
... 6/435 = 2/145
Roughly 1.7 percent of the bands are shorter than 3cm. We calculate the z score of the data point in standard distribution. By definition of z score, we use score minus mean divided by standard deviation. z=(3-6)/1.5=-2. A z score of -2 corresponds to approximately 1.7%, in other words, roughly 1.7 percent of data is less than 3cm.
Answer:
a) the gradient of the linear graph is: 
b) the y-intercept of linear graph is -1
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Find the gradient of the linear graph.
The formula used to find gradient is same as slope
Take any 2 points from the graph.
I will take: (-3,0) and (0,-1)
Putting values in formula and finding gradient
So, the gradient of the linear graph is:
b) Find the y-intercept of linear graph
The y-intercept of linear graph is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
So, in the given graph, that point is -1
So, the y-intercept of linear graph is -1
