Answer:

4.75 or round up to 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

if each pie has 8 slices, then you must do 8+8+8... and so on until u reach 38. However you wont get exactly 38 because 8 doesn't add up evenly into 38. You can find the exact number by divding the amount of people, 38, by the number of slices per pie, 8. The answer will be 4.75 but you can not buy a fraction of a pie so you must round up to 5 whole pies. There will be extra left over in the end, but you cant round down because 4 pies would not be enough, so you must buy 5.

You are trying to estimate the average amount a family spends on food during a year. In the past the standard deviation of the a
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

n=(\frac{2.58(1000)}{50})^2 =2662.56 \approx 2663

So the answer for this case would be n=2663 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following info:

ME = 50 margin of error desired

\sigma = 1000 the standard deviation for this case

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =50 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance is \alpha=0.01. And for this case would be z_{\alpha/2}=2.58, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{2.58(1000)}{50})^2 =2662.56 \approx 2663

So the answer for this case would be n=2663 rounded up to the nearest integer

What percent of 50 is 18
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Greetings!

To find the percent of a number, you mutliply the percent by the number, then divide by 100. We can use this rule to create an equation:
50*x/100=18
Multiply both sides by 100.
(50x/100)*100=(18)*100
Simplify.
50x=1800
Divide both sides by 50.
(50x)/50=(1800)/50
Simplify.
x=36

36% of 50 is 18.

Hope this helps.
