In a certain region, 15% of people over the age of 50 didn’t graduate from high school. We would like to know if this percentage is the same among the 25-50 year age group. What is the minimum number of 25-50 year old people who must be surveyed in order to estimate the proportion of non-grads to within 6% of the true parameter with 99% confidence?

235 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

P' = 15% = 0.15

1 - P' = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

At 99% confidence leve, Z will be:

= 1 - 99%

= 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

Z0.005 = 2.576

For the minimum number of 25-50 year old people who must be surveyed in order to estimate the proportion of non-grads to within 6%, we have:

Margin of error, E = 6% = 0.06

sample size = n =

= 235.02 ≈ 235

A number of 235 people between 25-30 years should be surveyed .

step-by-step explanation:

because first you have to add the 4x, 9x, and the 7x together and you get 20x and then you add the last numbers up and you get 5and then you put the subtraction sign in there and that's how you get the answer.

3x + 4y -25 =0 represents the amount of change sianna should recieve
