Answer: 471

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  The population standard deviation is estimated to be $500.

i.e .  \sigma=\$500

If a 97 percent confidence interval is used and an interval of $100 is desired.

i.e. Margin of error = half of interval

i.e. E= \dfrac{\$100}{2}=\$50

Significance level : 1-0.97=0.03

Critical value for 97% confidence interval : {z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.03/2}=2.17

Formula for sample size :

n=(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}\ \sigma}{E})^2\\\\=(\dfrac{2.17\times500}{50})^2\\\\=470.89\approx471

Hence, at-least 471 cardholders should be sampled.

yulyashka [42]

Step-by-step explanation:

what did we learn in the other question ?

there are 8 equal sub-segments of 1/8 length between neighboring whole numbers.

so, each little line is 1/8.

the marker goes first to 1, and then one little line towards 2.

therefore, that number is 1 1/8.
