Answer:

We need to sample at least 37 weeks of data.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.98}{2} = 0.01

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.01 = 0.99, so z = 2.327

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

We want 98% confidence that the sample mean is within $500 of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be $1300

This is at least n weeks, in which n is found when M = 500, \sigma = 1300

So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

500 = 2.327*\frac{1300}{\sqrt{n}}

500\sqrt{n} = 2.327*1300

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327*1300}{500}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.327*1300}{500})^{2}

n = 36.6

Rounding up

We need to sample at least 37 weeks of data.

Eddi Din [679]
If you're looking for a comparison word, greater or more would work. You could also use a numerical value and say 448,077 is 101,000 greater/more than 347,077.

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to Y-3x+1 that passes through the point (12,-6)?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

3y + x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 3x + 1

Required

Equation of line that passes through (12,-6) and is perpendicular to y = 3x + 1

First, the slope of the line has to be calculated;

Th slope of a line is the coefficient of x in its linear equation;

This implies that the slope of y = 3x + 1 is 3

Having calculated the slope of the first line;

The relationship between both lines are perpendicularity; this implies that m_1 * m_2 = -1

Where m_1 = 3 and m_2 is the slope of the secodnd line

m_1 * m_2 = -1 becomes

3 * m_2 = -1

Divide both sides by 3

\frac{3 *m_2}{m_2} = \frac{-1}{3}

m_2 = \frac{-1}{3}

The equation of the line can be calculated using the folloing formula

m = \frac{y - y_1}{x - x_1}

Where (x_1, y_1) = (12,-6) and m_2 = \frac{-1}{3}

The equation becomes

\frac{-1}{3} = \frac{y -- 6}{x - 12}

\frac{-1}{3} = \frac{y + 6}{x - 12}

Cross multiply

-(x - 12)= 3(y + 6)

-x + 12=3y + 18

Collect like terms

12 - 18 = 3y +x

-6 = 3y + x

3y + x = -6
