Answer:

A. 60

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

We have to find:

n when M = 3, \sigma = 9. So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

3 = 2.575*\frac{9}{\sqrt{n}}

3\sqrt{n} = 9*2.575

Dividing both sides by 3

\sqrt{n} = 3*2.575

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (3*2.575)^{2}

n = 59.68

We round up, so the correct answer is:

A. 60

How could you calculate each product? Describe the strategy you would use. Then calculate.
VashaNatasha [74]
Hey there!

1. To solve 9 x 5 , I could add the number 9 five times . . .

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 45

9 x 5 = 45 <----

2. I would use the same strategy as the first one, except add the number 8 five times . . .

8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 40

8 x 5 = 40 <----

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
