Answer:
a) n = 1037.
b) n = 1026.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 
The margin of error is:

99% confidence level
So
, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
(a) Assume that nothing is known about the percentage to be estimated.
We need to find n when M = 0.04.
We dont know the percentage to be estimated, so we use
, which is when we are going to need the largest sample size.






Rounding up
n = 1037.
(b) Assume prior studies have shown that about 55% of full-time students earn bachelor's degrees in four years or less.

So






Rounding up
n = 1026.
Answer:
each side of the patio measures ft.
This is the formula you would use to calculate how many tiles you would need.
# of tiles you need = Total square footage ÷ square footage of each tile
Total square footage: 69x69 = 4761 square feet
Square footage of each tile = 2x2 = 4 square feet
# of tiles you need = 4761 ÷ 4 = 1190.25
You will need 1190.25 tiles.
