Given:
Accuracy = 5
99% confidence interval
s = 17, sample standard deviation.

Because the population standard deviation is unknown, we should use the Student's t distribution.
The accuracy at the 99% confidence level for estimating the true mean is
t*( \frac{s}{ \sqrt{n} )}
where
n =  the sample size.
t* is provided by the t-table.

That is,
(17t*)/√n = 5
√n = (17t*)/5 = 3.4t*
n = 11.56(t*)²

A table of t* values versus df (degrees of freedom) is as follows.
Note that df = n-1.

     n      df         t*
------ --------  -------
1001 1000  2.581
  101    100  2.626
   81      80  2.639
   61      60  2.660

We should evaluate iteratively until the guessed value, n, agrees with the computed value, N.

Try n = 1001 => df = 1000.
t* = 2.581
N = 11.56*(2.581²) = 77
No agreement.

Try n = 81 => df = 80
t* = 2.639
N = 11.56*(2.639²) = 80.5
Good agreement

We conclude that n = 81.

Answer: The sample size is 81.

1. Given the triangle below, answer the following questions
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

x=81

y=99

z= 129

Step-by-step explanation:

the 3 angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

51 + 48 + x = 180

99 + x = 180

subtract 99 from each side

99 + x -99 = 180 -99

x = 81


x+y = 180  they make a straight line

81+ y = 180

subtract 81 from each side

y = 180-81

y = 99


z+ 51 = 180  they make a straight line

subtract 51 from each side

z+51-51 = 180 -51

z = 129

Answer:

a. Point.

b. Vertex.

c. Line.

d. Line segment.

e. Ray.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. <u>Point</u>: a location, has no dimension. Also, a point doesn't have a size i.e no length, depth, breadth or height.

b. <u>Vertex</u>: is the common endpoint of two segments or rays that form the "corner" of an angle.

c. <u>Line</u>: is an infinite number of points extending in opposite directions that has only one dimension.

d. <u>Line segment</u>: is part of a line that has two endpoints.

e. <u>Ray</u>: is part of a line that has one endpoint and continues in one direction infinitely.
