Answer:
The minimum sample size that can be taken is of 14 dogs.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculating the minimum sample size to estimate a population mean is given by:

The <u>first step</u> is obtaining the values we're going to use to replace in the formula.
Since we want to be 95% confident,
.
Therefore we look for the critical value
.
Then we calculate the variance:

And we have that:

<u>Now</u> we replace in the formula with the values we've just obtained:

Therefore the minimum sample size that can be taken to guarantee that the sample mean is within 2 inches of the population mean is of 14 dogs.
Answer:
x = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(x - 2) =
(x + 4) + 2
Multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions
5(x - 2) =3(x + 4) + 30 ← distribute and simplify both sides
5x - 10 = 3x + 12 + 30, that is
5x - 10 = 3x + 42 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
2x - 10 = 42 ( add 10 to both sides )
2x = 52 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 26
Okay, so as you may know the inside angles of a triangle always add up to 180! so you must first find x, so that means add up all equations to find x. your answer is 41
