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.

How are 12 fl oz equivalent to 335 ml
Mazyrski [523]
The question asks us to find that 12 fl oz is equivalent to 335 ml. Then we have to either convert the milliliter to oz or vice-verse. In this case we will convert 12 fl oz to milleter and check if it comes to 335 ml.
Now we already know that
1 oz = 29.57 ml
Then
12 oz = (29.57 * 12) ml
          = 354.84 ml
         = 355 ml
So we see that 12 oz is not equal to 335 ml but it is almost equivalent to 335 ml.
