Answer:

The minimum sample size required is 207.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>) % confidence interval for population mean <em>μ</em> is:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The margin of error of this confidence interval is:

MOE=z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given:

MOE=3\\\sigma=29\\z_{\alpha /2}=z_{0.01/2}=z_{0.05}=2.576

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the critical value.

Compute the value of <em>n</em> as follows:

MOE=z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\3=2.576\times \frac{29}{\sqrt{n}} \\n=[\frac{2.576\times29}{3} ]^{2}\\=206.69\\\approx207

Thus, the minimum sample size required is 207.

Dan pays £220 per week in rent.
____ [38]

Answer:

225.5

Step-by-step explanation:

220 + (2.5% × 220) =

220 + 2.5% × 220 =

(1 + 2.5%) × 220 =

(100% + 2.5%) × 220 =

102.5% × 220 =

102.5 ÷ 100 × 220 =

102.5 × 220 ÷ 100 =

22,550 ÷ 100 =

225.5

A company manufactirung snowboards has fixed costs of $200 per day and total cost of $3800 per day at a daily output of 20 board
polet [3.4K]
A. The cost per 20 boards is 3800. so each board costs 3800/20 or $190. So the cost equation is C(x) = 200 + 190x

B. Divide the cost function by x. C(x)/x = 200/x + 190

C. The graph will be a curve that starts at (1,390) and curves down and to the right. Your last point will be at (30, 200/30+190) Your asymptote will be the horizontal line at 190 because as x tends to infinity, the term 200/x goes to zero. (There is also a vertical asymptote at x = 0 because you can't divide by zero, but your graph won't include x=0)

D. The average cost tends to 190 which was your horizontal asymptote.

solve the system of equations below by graphing both equations with a pencil and paper. what is the solution y = x - 1 y = 1/2x
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

(4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-1) = \frac{1}{2}x +1

(x-\frac{1}{2}x)-(-1+1)=(\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}x)+(1+1)

(\frac{1}{2}x/\frac{1}{2})=(2/\frac{1}{2})

x=4

y=(4)-1

y=3

y=\frac{1}{2}(4)+1

y=2+1

y=3
