Answer:

Option D) 340

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = $47

Margin of error = 5

95% Confidence Interval:

\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

\text{Margin of error} = z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

5 = 1.96(\dfrac{47}{\sqrt{n}} )\\\\\sqrt{n} = \dfrac{47\times 1.96}{5}\\\\n = 339.443776\\\Rightarrow n \approx 340

Thus, the correct answer is

Option D) 340
