Answer:
b. quadruple the sample size.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a 95% confidence is given by (15,20) .
this implies that mean = average of lower and higher bounds of confidence interval =
Margin of error = Upper bound - Mean =
Confidence level = 95%
Critical value = 1.96
Std error =
Std devition = Std error * sqrt n = 6.3775
If we want to reduce margin of error by half we must get margin of error as 1.25
For that std error for same critical value = 0.63775
Std deviation did not change
So sample size only changed which implies that sample size is 4 times the original
b. quadruple the sample size.
Answer:
24 kilometers.
Step-by-step explanation:
The shortest path between two points is a straight segment that connects the two points.
Refer to the diagram attached. The 6-km segment and the 8-km segment are normal to each other. Together with the segment that joins the library and the house, the three segments now form a right triangle.
- The two shorter segments are the two legs, and
- The longer segment that joins the library and the house is the hypotenuse.
The length of the hypotenuse can be found with the Pythagorean Theorem.
.
The length of the round-trip will equal to the sum of the length of the three segments: .
