A physical therapist wants to determine the difference in the proportion of men and women who participate in regular sustained physical activity. What sample size should be obtained the wishes the estimate to be within three percentage points
with 90% confidence, assuming that
(a) he uses the estimates of 21.3% male and 19.5% female from a previous year?
(b) he does not use any prior estimates?
(a)n (Round up to the nearest whole number)
(b) (Round up to the nearest whole number.)

Answers

Answer 1

Using the z-distribution and the formula for the margin of error, it is found that:

a) A sample size of 54 is needed.

b) A sample size of 752 is needed.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+\alpha}{2}[/tex].

The margin of error is of:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

90% confidence level, hence[tex]\alpha = 0.9[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95[/tex], so [tex]z = 1.645[/tex].

Item a:

The estimate is [tex]\pi = 0.213 - 0.195 = 0.018[/tex].

The sample size is n for which M = 0.03, hence:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.018(0.982)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}}{0.03}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 53.1[/tex]

Rounding up, a sample size of 54 is needed.

Item b:

No prior estimate, hence [tex]\pi = 0.05[/tex]

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}\right)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 751.7[/tex]

Rounding up, a sample of 752 should be taken.

What is the slope of the line ?

Answers

Answer:

y = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope intercept equation y = mx + b.

b is the y-intercept which is 4 in this equation.

The slope can be found from a graph using rise over run. This graph is decreasing so the slope is negative. Therefore, the slope is -3.

what are the correct answers whoever answers it correctly gets brainlist

Answers

Answer:

So the answer is... Hold on... Ok i did my research and the answer is........

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Economic

The Industrial Revolution stimulated the hunt for colonies. First, colonies provided raw

materials. Second, colonies served as a market for surplus manufactured goods.

2. Political

Every country wanted national hegemony – that is, to be the No. 1 imperialist country in the

world. To achieve this, they wanted to control as much of the world as

possible. The nation’s greatness is measured by the quality and quantity

of its colonies. Folks wanted to plant the flag in as many places as

possible. Every country wanted recognition as a world power. They

wanted to improve their reputation among other European countries.

They wanted to increase their political power and prestige. Every country

was in competition with its rivals. You took territory – simply to prevent

your rival from getting it!

3. Military

Every imperialist country was worried about its own national security: The competition

among imperialist powers was vicious. One had to protect one’s own

country and its colonies. Every country wanted to gain military

advantage over its rivals. A colony could serve as a fueling station for

the Navy. A ship could stop and load up on supplies. Some spots in the

world, especially waterways, were strategically important. The Navy

was paramount: It must have freedom to travel to and from the

colonies.

4. Cultural

Social Darwinism was the prevailing belief in Europe. It explained why some countries were

rich and some were poor. People compete for survival. The strong survive.

The rich were naturally superior. The weak were unfit. Poverty was a sign of

being unfit. The poor were naturally inferior. The European colonizers were

the Superior Races. The African and Asian colonized were Inferior Races. The

Europeans regarded themselves as racially and culturally superior to the people

of Africa and Asia. Humanitarians argued that it was Europe’s noble duty to

uplift and enlighten the backward peoples. Belief in Anglo-Saxon superiority

was prevalent.

5. Religious

The “missionary impulse”: Christianity is superior to all other religions. We must

spread Christianity to Asia and Africa. Religion encouraged imperialism. People

felt they needed to acquire territory in order to Christianize people. A serious

moral issue – Christianity is in direct conflict with Social Darwinism. Under

Christianity, all people are equal in God’s eyes. Under Social Darwinism, the

Europeans are superior and the Africans and Asians are inferior. There was also a

certain element of hypocrisy: While the Europeans spoke of uplifting people, they

were actually motivated by profit and greed.

Solve for y: 3^3 + 14 y- (25y - 13) = y + 7y - 9y

Answers

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3^3 + 14y - (25y - 13) = y + 7y - 9y

Exponents first.

27 + 14y - (25y - 13) = y + 7y - 9y

Distribute the negative sign from the parenthesis.

27 + 14y - 25y + 13 = y + 7y - 9y

Common terms.

27 + 13 = 40

14y - 25y = -11y

y + 7y - 9y = -y

40 - 11y = -y

Add 11 to both sides.

40 = 10y

Divide both sides by 10.

4 = y

Rearrange.

y = 4.

Calculate SP (the sum of products of deviations) for the following scores. Note: Both means are whole numbers, so the definitional formula works well: X Y 4 5 0 2 1 1 3 4

Answers

Applying the formula, it is found that the SP for both numbers is of 7.

The first step is finding the mean for both sets, hence:

[tex]M_x = \frac{4 + 0 + 1 + 3}{4} = 2[/tex]

[tex]M_y = \frac{5 + 2 + 1 + 4}{4} = 3[/tex]

Then, the SP(sum of products of deviations) is the sum of the multiplications between each value x and the mean, with each respective value of y(same index) and the mean, hence:

[tex]SP = (4 - 2)(5 - 3) + (0 - 2)(2 - 3) + (1 - 2)(1 - 3) + (3 - 2)(3 - 4) = 7[/tex]

The SP for both numbers is of 7.

A table is on sale for 32% off. The sale price is $459.
What is the regular price?

Answers

the regular price is "x", which of course is the 100%, but we also know that $459 is 32% off that, hmmmmm well 100% - 32% = 68%, so $459 is really 68% of "x", because $459 is whatever "x" is minus 32%.

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} x&100\\ 459&68 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{x}{459}=\cfrac{100}{68}\implies \cfrac{x}{459}=\cfrac{25}{17} \\\\\\ 17x = 11475\implies x = \cfrac{11475}{17}\implies x = 675[/tex]

$675 is the regular price. $459 is 68% of the original price. (100-32=68). To find the original price you would do 459 divided by 0.68 and would get 675. To check that you would do 675 times 0.68 and would get 459. I hope this helps

Dan bought a truck for $29,800. The value of the truck depreciated at a constant rate per year.

Answers

Answer:

A) f(t) = 29,800(0.89)^t

Step-by-step explanation:The truck value decreases by 11% each year.

The present value of the truck was $29,800.

29,800 x 0.11 = 3,728 dollars lost from value.

29,800 - 3,728 = 26,522, the value of the truck after one year.

26,522 x 0.11 = 2,917.42 cash lost from value.

26,522 - 3,728 = 23,604.58, the value of the truck after two years.

Therefore, the answer is A) f(t) = 29,800(0.89)^t.
