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.

Daniel is currently 26 years older than his son. In sic years he will be tree times older than his son. How old are both of them
Vlad1618 [11]

well, 26+6 is 32, so divide that by 3 and you'd get 10.67, making daniel 32 by that time and his son being 10 years old

its simple math really, also, i hope this helps you ^-^

pychu [463]
To answer b - You need to find how much it costs to rent a bike per hour. To do this divide the over all cost ($12) by your amount of time (3 hrs) to get $4 per hour. Same with the $20 per 5 hours!
