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.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

4 1/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has sides of LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{6}1 1 6 inches, LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{3}1 1 3 inches, and LaTeX: 1\frac{2}{3}1 2 3 inches. What is the perimeter of the triangle? Make sure your answer is in simplest form.

Perimeter of Triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c

Perimeter of the Triangle =

( 1 1/6 + 1 1/3 + 1 2/3) inches

Lowest common denominator = 6

= 1 + 1 + 1 +(1/6 + 1/3 + 2/3)

= 3 + (1 + 2 + 4/6)

= 3 + 7/6

= 3 + 1 1/6

= 4 1/6 inches
