A software developer wants to know how many new computer games people buy each year. Assume a previous study found the standard

deviation to be 1.7. She thinks the mean is 6 computer games per year. What is the minimum sample size required to ensure that the estimate has an error of at most 0.14 at the 95% level of confidence? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answer:

The minimum sample size required to ensure that the estimate has an error of at most 0.14 at the 95% level of confidence is n=567.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the minimum sample size n needed to have a margin of error below 0.14.

The critical value of z for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96.

To do that, we use the margin of error formula in function of n:

MOE=\dfrac{z\cdot \sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\\n=\left(\dfrac{z\cdot \sigma}{MOE}\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{1.96\cdot 1.7}{0.14}\right)^2=(23.8)^2=566.42\approx 567

The minimum sample size to have this margin of error is n = 567.

dezoksy [38]
Here, both sides are equal, represented by - sign.
So, 4x + 12 = 60
4x = 60 - 12
x = 48/4
x = 12

In short, Your Answer would be 12

Hope this helps!

A given line has the equation 10x + 2y = −2.
sergij07 [2.7K]
Firstly, let's convert 10x + 2y = -2 to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

10x + 2y = -2
2y = -10x - 2
y = -5x - 2/5

The slope is -5. Parallel lines have the same slope; the question provides the y-int (12), so our equation is:

y = -5x + 12

Hope this helps.

What four factors were used to create this product game board 9,15,18,21,30,35,36,42,49
IgorLugansk [536]
To see what are the factors use, we write each of the numbers, as product of prime factors:

9= 3 \cdot 3\\\\&#10;15=3 \cdot 5\\\\&#10;18= 2 \cdot 9 = 2 \cdot 3 \cdot3\\\\21= 3\cdot 7\\\\30=3 \cdot10=3 \cdot 2 \cdot 5\\\\35=5 \cdot7\\\\36=6\cdot6=2\cdot3\cdot2\cdot3\\\\42=6\cdot7=2\cdot3\cdot7\\\\49=7\cdot7&#10;

As we can see, the 4 factors used to produce the numbers in the list are {2, 3, 5, 7}


Answer:  {2, 3, 5, 7}
