Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to solve this one would be simple cross multiplying. Multiply the top of one side with the bottom of the other side. In this problem you need to multiply X with 8 and multiply 3 with 5. You'll get an equation of 8X=15, then divide both sides by 8 so that you get X by itself. Your answer will them be X=1.875
=-30
-2*-3=6
-1*5=-5
6 x -5=-30
solution:
The variable is discrete because it is countable.
The number5 of lightning strikes in a city in one year is countable value.
So, it is discrete
Answer:
So then the minimum sample to ensure the condition given is n= 38
Step-by-step explanation:
Notation
represent the sample mean for the sample
population mean (variable of interest)
represent the population standard deviation
n represent the sample size
ME = 4 the margin of error desired
Solution to the problem
When we create a confidence interval for the mean the margin of error is given by this formula:
(a)
And on this case we have that ME =4 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
(b)
The critical value for 96% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance is
. And in excel we can use this formula to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.02;0;1)", and we got
, replacing into formula (b) we got:
So then the minimum sample to ensure the condition given is n= 38
