Answer:

We are given:

Confidence level = 99%. Therefore, the critical value at 0.01 significance level using the standard normal table is given below:

z_{\frac{0.01}{2}}=2.576

Margin of error is given in the question as:

E=0.05

Since the previous proportion is not given, therefore, we need to assume \hat{p} = 0.5

Therefore, the sample size is:

n=\hat{p}(1-\hat{p}) \left( \frac{z_{\frac{0.01}{2}} }{E} \right)

  =0.5(1-0.5) \left( \frac{2.576}{0.05} \right)

  =0.25 \times 51.52^2

  =663.6 \approx 664

Therefore, 664 sample observations are required.

Roger served 5/8 pound of crackers, which was 2/3 of the entire box. what was the weight of the crackers originally in the box
ira [324]
5/8 = 2/3 the entire box

Half of 2/3 is 1/3, and 2/3 + 1/3 = 1

So find half of 5/8 and add it to 5/8.

5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16

5/8 + 5/16

Change 5/8 to a fraction with a denominator of 16:

10/16 + 5/16 = 15/16

So the original weight is 15/16 pounds.
