61. The 2003 Statistical Abstract of the United States reported the percentage of people 18 years of age and older who smoke. Suppose that a study designed to collect new data on smokers and nonsmokers uses a preliminary estimate of the proportion who smoke of .30. a. How large a sample should be taken to estimate the proportion of smokers in the population with a margin of error of .02

Required minimum sample size = 2017

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula : Sample size(n) for population proportion(p):

, where E = Margin of error

If p = proportion of smokers

Given: p =0.30 and E=0.02

for 95% confidence level = 1.96

So,

Hence, required minimum sample size = 2017

a

step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4
