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.

What is the factored form of k² + kf – 2f²?
ella [17]
You can factor this by grouping! We will need to group the trinomial into the expression (k^2 + k)(-2f^2 + f). Now factor from THOSE. k(k + 1)f(-2f + 1).

The volume of a spherical tank is 790.272 pie cubic feet what is the diameter of the container
pochemuha

Answer:

The diameter is 13.88 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The formula for calculate the volume of a sphere is:

V=\frac{3}{4}(r^{3}\pi)

Where r is the radius.

2. The diameter is:

D=2r

3. So, you must solve for the radius in the first equation:

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4V}{3\pi}} 

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{4(790.272ft^{3} )}{3\pi}}\\r=6.94ft

4. Then, the diameter is:

D=2(6.94ft)\\D=13.88ft
