Let's call our estimate x. It will be the average of n IQ scores. Our average won't usually exactly equal the mean 97.  But if we repeated averages over different sets of tests, the mean of our estimate the average would be the same as the mean of a single test,

μ = 97

Variances add, so the standard deviations add in quadrature, like the Pythagorean Theorem in n dimensions.  This means the standard deviation of the average x is

σ = 17/√n

We want to be 95% certain

97 - 5 ≤ x ≤ 97 + 5

By the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% certain means within two standard deviations. That means we're 95% sure that

μ - 2σ ≤ x ≤ μ + 2σ

Comparing to what we want, that's means we have to solve

2σ = 5

2 (17/√n) = 5

√n = 2 (17/5)

n = (34/5)² = 46.24

We better round up.

Answer: We need a sample size of 47 to be 95% certain of being within 5 points of the mean

The school librarian, Mr. Marker, knows the library has 1,400 books but wants to reorganize how the books are displayed on the s
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

200 resource books

800 fiction books

400 nonfiction books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define x as the amount of resource books that are in the library. As he has four times as many fiction books as resource books, that means he has 4*x fiction books.

We also know he has half as many nonfiction books as fiction books, that is 1/2*4*x = 2*x nonfiction books.

We just need to find out the value of x.

We know there are 1,400 books in total and there are just 3 types of books. Therefore, if we sum all of them, we get the 1,400.

Written in math language, that is

x + 4x + 2x = 1,400

7x = 1,400

We divide by 7 on both sides and we get

7/7x = 1,400/7

x = 200

Now we replace the x with 200 to know how many books he has of each type:

Resource books = x = 200

Fiction books = 4*x = 4*200 = 800

Nonfiction books = 2*x = 2*200 = 400

Therefore, there are 200 resource books, 800 fiction books and 400 nonfiction books in the library.
