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.
