Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

use a Poisson process to model the arrival.

the mean rate of arrivals  is λ=4.5

The standard deviation is calculated as:

σ==√λ =2.1213

The z-value for a 98% CI is z=2.3262.

If the 98% CI has to be within a error of 0.5 then:

Ul-Ll=2z*σ/√n=2*0.5=1

√n=z*σ=2.3262*2.1213=4.9346

√n=4.9346  and n = 4.9346^2=24.35 rounded to 25

The sample size needed is n=25.

Evan randomly selects 30 marbles from a bag. His data is given in the table.
Igoryamba
The probability of selecting a yellow marble is #of yellow marbles/total # of marbles= 6/30 or .2 or 20%

If there are 300 marbles in the bag, a good estimate for the total number of red marbles in the bag is 90.

9/30=.3 = the percentage of red marbles
.3(300) = 90
