ff will collect data from a random sample of restaurants in the city and estimate the mean price using a 90 percent confidence interval. In past years, the standard deviation has always been very close to $35. Assuming that the population standard deviation is $35, which of the following is the minimum sample size needed to obtain a margin of error of no more than $5 ?A) 90

Answer: C) 133

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n=(\dfrac{z^*\cdot\sigma}{E})^2

, where z* = Critical z-value

\sigma = Population standard deviation for prior study.

E= Margin of error.

As per given , we have

\sigma=$35

E= 5

The critical z-value for 90% confidence level is 1.645.

Substitute al;l the value sin the above formula  , we get

n=(\dfrac{1.645\times 35}{5})^2

n=(\dfrac{57.575}{5})^2

n=(11.515)^2

n=132.595225\approx133

Hence, the minimum sample size needed is 133.

Thus , the correct answer is : C) 133

Ok, so we know that RST is equal to 6x+12
And RST is also equal to 78 + 3x-12
so we set them equal to each other

6x + 12 = 3x - 12 + 78
And simplify
3x = 54
x = 18

Finally, we solve for the angle with 18 for x

6(18) + 12
108 + 12
120

Hope this helps

Answer:

g(x) = - 3^x

Step-by-step explanation:

G is a reflection across the x axis of the function of f(x)

g(x) = −f(x)

g(x) = - 3^x
