For this problem, carry at least four digits after the decimal in your calculations. Answers may vary slightly due to rounding. What percentage of your campus student body is female? Let p be the proportion of women students on your campus. (a) If no preliminary study is made to estimate p, how large a sample is needed to be 99% sure that a point estimate p̂ will be within a distance of 0.04 from p? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.) (b) A report indicates that approximately 57% of college students are females. Answer part (a) using this estimate for p. (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)
Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
