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.

If 12 children represents 12.5% of the people attending a concert, how many people are attending the concert
NeTakaya

96 people are attending the concert.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of children at concert = 12

This represents 12.5% of the people attending concert.

Let,

p be the total people attending concert.

12.5% of p = 12

\frac{12.5}{100}*p=12\\0.125p=12

Dividing both sides by 0.125

\frac{0.125p}{0.125}=\frac{12}{0.125}\\p=96

96 people are attending the concert.

Find the total mass of the triangular region shown below. All lengths are in cm, and the density of the region is sigma(x) = 1 +
anastassius [24]

Answer:

3 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to take the mass of a bunch of little strips below the triangle "roof." To do this, we must figure out what formula for the mass we'll use, in this case, we'll use:

Mass of strip = denisty * area = (1+x)*y*deltax grams

now, because the "roof" of the triangle contains two different integrals (it completely changes direction), we will use TWO integrals!

**pretend ∈ is the sum symbol

Mass of left part = lim x->0 ∈ (1+x)*y*deltax = inegral -1 to 0 of (1+x)*3*(x+1) = 3 * integral -1 to 0 of (x^2 + 2x + 1) = 3 *  1/3 = 1

Mass of left part = lim x->0 ∈ (1+x)*y*deltax = inegral 0 to 1 of (1+x)*3*(-x+1) = 3 * integral 0 to 1 of (-x^2 + 1) = 3 * 2/3 = 2

Total mass = mass left + mass right = 1 + 2 = 3 grams

Amita's kitchen is rectangular with an area of 3 and 3/4 square meters the width of the kitchen is 1 and 1/2 m what is the lengt
shtirl [24]

Answer:

2 1 ÷ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The kitchen of Amita would be a rectangular area contains 3 and 3 ÷ 4 square meters

And, the width of her kitchen is 1 and 1 ÷ 2 meter

So based on the above information, the length of Amita kitchen is

Here you divide the rectangular area by the width

= (3 and 3 ÷ 4) ÷ (1 and 1 ÷ 2)

= 2 and 1 ÷ 2

Hence, the  length in meters of Anita's kitchen is  2 and  1 ÷ 2
