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.

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

18 cents per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to identify the unit. In this case, you are told you have 16-ounces. Therefore, your unit is an ounce.

To find the price of one ounce, just divide your price of $2.88 by 16.

Unit rate = $2.88 / 16 = 0.18 or 18 cents per ounce.
