Assume we need to estimate the mean of a normally-distributed population with great accuracy. Specifically, for significance lev

el α = .01, we must place a confidence interval around μ such that the width of the interval is no larger than .1. Assume that the variance of the population is known to be σ2. How large must the sample size be to assure that the width of the confidence interval is no larger than .1?

Answer:

n = 2662.56\sigma^2                                

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Significance level = 0.01

Width of interval = 0.1

Population variance = \sigma^2

We have to find the sample size so that the width of the confidence interval is no larger than 0.1

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 2.58

Formula for sample size:

n = \displaystyle\frac{z^2\sigma^2}{E^2}

where E is the margin of error. Since the confidence interval width is 0.1,

E = 0.05

Putting these values in the equation:

n = \displaystyle\frac{(2.58)^2\sigma^2}{(0.05)^2} = 2662.56\sigma^2

So, the above expression helps us to calculate the sample size so that the width of the confidence interval is no larger than 0.1 for different sample variances.

Answer:

If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational. Any other situation, however, of a rational times an irrational will be irrational.

(06.01)The tables below show four sets of data:
Yakvenalex [24]
For it to be non-linear, the rate of change cannot be constant.  For the first table the rate is a constant 1 and the second table has a constant rate of -1.  The 3rd and 4th tables have no constant rate and thus are non-linear.

The 4th table is increasing while the 3rd table is decreasing.  

So the 3rd table, Set C, is the only non-linear negative association between x and y.
