A music buff wants to estimate the percentage of students at a midwestern university who believe that elvis is still alive. how

Lacking information on the proportion, we will assume the sample proportion is 0.50

thus,
p = 0.50
The margin of error is set at 10 percentage points. This indicates that the error on either side of the population proportion is 5%, so E = 0.05
z = 1.645 (Z value for a confidence level of 90%)

The calculation for the margin of error when estimating population proportions follows:

E=z* \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\ \\ 
 \frac{E}{z} = \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} } \\ \\ 
( \frac{E}{z} )^{2}= \frac{p(1-p)}{n} \\ \\ 
n= p(1-p)* (\frac{z}{E})^{2} \\ \\ 
n=271

Consequently, 271 students need to be part of the sample.

Sarah buys a new bike. The total cost of the bike including taxes is $349. She pays $100 down and then agrees to pay the balance
AnnZ [12381]

Each of the six payments amounts to $41.50

Step-by-step breakdown:

Given,

Total cost of the bike including taxes = $349

Initial payment = $100

Remaining balance = Total cost of bike - Initial payment

Remaining balance = 349 - 100

Remaining balance = $249

She opts to pay in six equal installments, so we divide the total remaining by 6.

Monthly payment = \frac{Amount\ left\ to\ pay}{No.\ of\ months}

Monthly payment = \frac{249}{6} = \$41.50

Each of the six payments amounts to $41.50

The system of equations can be solved using linear combination to eliminate one of the variables.2x − y = −4→10x − 5y = −203x +
babunello [11817]
2x − y = −4 → 10x − 5y = −20
3x + 5y = 59 → 3x + 5y = 59
13x = 39..... this is derived from adding the two equations on the right.

13x = 39 can be used in place of 3x + 5y = 59 in the initial system and will yield the same result.

(a) 4 <span>(b) y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) </span>The most accurate assumption for the equation based on the general format for an ellipse is: [[TAG_3]]x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1 [[TAG_4]](a). An ellipse is symmetrical along both its major and minor axes. Thus, if you can calculate the area of the ellipse in one quadrant, multiplying that area by 4 will yield the total area of the ellipse, confirming the factor of 4 is accurate. [[TAG_5]] (b). The standard equation for an ellipse doesn't adequately represent a general function as it results in two y values for each x value. However, if we constrain ourselves to the positive square root, that issue can be resolved easily. Here’s how: [[TAG_6]] x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1 [[TAG_7]] x^2/16 + y^2/9 - 1 = 0 [[TAG_8]] x^2/16 - 1 = - y^2/9 [[TAG_9]] -(9/16)x^2 + 9 = y^2 [[TAG_10]] 9 - (9/16)x^2 = y^2 [[TAG_11]] sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) = y [[TAG_12]] y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)
