Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an advisor to the mayor of a large city wants to estimate, within 3 minutes, the mean travel time to work for all employees who work within the city limits.

Let X be the random variable denoting the time for employees to travel within city limit

Std dev of X = 12.25 minutes

For 95% confidence interval Z critical 1.96 is used because population std dev is known

Margin of error = 1.96*std error = 3 (given)

i.e. 1.96(\frac{12.25}{\sqrt{n} } )=3

where n is the desired sample size.

Simplify to get

\frac{24.01}{\sqrt{n} } =3\\n=64.053

Hence atleast 64 employees should he poll

Rama09 [41]
<span>2x + 5 = 27
subtract 5 to both sides
2x + 5 - 5 = 27 - 5
simplify
2x = 22
divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 22/2
simplify
x = 11

How many different phone numbers are possible in the area code 503, if the first number cannot start with a 0 or 1
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

8 X 10^(9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Originally we have 10 digit phone numbers excluding the area code.

For each face value we have these in store: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (total 10)

But if we exclude 1 and 0 for the first digit, we are left with 8 digits.

8P1 X .......

In a phone number, digits can repeat so we can choose out of these 10 numbers freely after this.

8P1 X 10P1 X 10P1 X...

Adding the area code while assuming 10P1 is just 10...we get:

1 X 1 X 1 X 8 X 10^(9)

= 8000000000

Very interesting question, thanks for the opportunity!
