Well lets assume that NO = NP. If this is the case then 17 = 5x - 6. We then want to solve for x. So add 6 to each side, this equals 23 = 5x. I do not know if it is suppose to be a decimal, but I will do it anyway. Divide 23 by 5 which is 4.6. So x = 4.6. Now plug this into x. So NO = 17 and NP = 17. This is the only way I see possible to solve this problem. Let me know if it was correct please.
D+F=N: n is the variable (the sum).
Answer:
n=1705
Step-by-step explanation:
The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
Assuming the X follows a normal distribution
And the distribution for
is:
We know that the margin of error for a confidence interval is given by:
(1)
The next step would be find the value of
,
and
Using the normal standard table, excel or a calculator we see that:
If we solve for n from formula (1) we got:
And we have everything to replace into the formula:
And if we round up the answer we see that the value of n to ensure the margin of error required
mm is n=1705.
