Many people feel that the drying of pavement marking paint is much too slow. You spend several days looking for the fastest dryi

ng paint you can find; you plan to measure the time (in seconds) for this paint to dry. From information provided by the paint supplier, you believe the time to dry is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 3 seconds. How many paint samples would you need to test to be able to obtain an estimate of paint drying time that is within 2 seconds of the actual mean drying time with a probability of 99.5%?

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

Using<em> Simple Random Sampling</em>, we can estimate the sample size by the formula

\bf n=\frac{Z^2S^2}{e^2}

where  

n = sample size

Z = the z-score corresponding to the confidence level 99.5%

S = the assumed standard deviation = 3 seconds

e = margin of error = 2 seconds

<em>It is worth noticing that the higher the confidence level, the larger the sample should be. </em>

The z-score corresponding to a confidence level of 99.5% can be obtained either with a table or the computer and equals

Z = 3.023

Replacing the values in our formula

\bf n=\frac{(3.023)^23^2}{2^2}=20.5616\approx 21

So the size of the sample should be at least 21.

ycow [4]

Answer:

hat: $12

t-shirt: $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 hat = h.

Let the price of 1 t-shirt = t.

Julie: h + 2t = 28

Raj: 2h + t = 32

We have a system of 2 equations in 2 variables.

h + 2t = 28

2h + t = 32

Let's use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.

Solve the first equation for h.

h = 28 - 2t

Substitute 28 - 2t for h in the second equation.

2(28 - 2t) + t = 32

56 - 4t + t = 32

56 - 3t = 32

-3t = -24

t = 8

h = 28 - 2t

h = 28 - 2(6)

h = 12

Answer:

hat: $12

t-shirt: $8
