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.

Find the value of x.<br> 7<br> D<br> 3<br> B В<br> х<br> С<br> X =
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

x = \sqrt{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Altitude- on- Hypotenuse theorem

(leg of Δ ABC )² = (part of hypotenuse below it ) × ( whole hypotenuse )

x² = 3 × (3 + 7) = 3 × 10 = 30 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{30}

If f(x) = -7x + 1 and g(x) = Square root of x-5,<br> what is (fºg)(41)?
Ghella [55]

This is similar to the other question you posted. Follow the same steps as before.

First find g(41).

g(41) = sqrt{x - 5}

g(41) = sqrt{41 - 5}

g(41) = sqrt{36}

g(41) = 6

We now find f(6).

f(6) = -7(6) + 1

f(6) = -42 + 1

f(6) = -41

Answer:

(fºg)(41) = -41
