Students at a certain school were surveyed, and it was estimated that 28% of college students abstain from drinking alcohol. To estimate this proportion in your school, how large a random sample would you need to estimate it to within 0.02 with probability 0.95, if before conducting the study

(a) you are unwilling to predict the proportion value at your school and
(b) you use the results from the surveyed school as a guideline.

a) We need a sample size of at least 2401.

b) We need a sample size of at least 1936.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .

The margin of error is:

95% confidence level

So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of , so .

(a) you are unwilling to predict the proportion value at your school and

We use , which is when we are going to need the largest sample size.

So we need to find n when . So

We need a sample size of at least 2401.

(b) you use the results from the surveyed school as a guideline.

Now the same calculation, just with . So

We need a sample size of at least 1936.

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
