A large city newspaper periodically reports the mean cost of dinner for two people at restaurants in the city. The newspaper sta

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
B) 112
C) 133
D)147

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

2. Find mzR and mzS.<br> 89°<br> R<br> 157 T<br> Р
baherus [9]

Answer:

m∠R = 123°

m∠S = 91°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an inscribed angle is 1/2 the measure of the intercepted arc

m of arc QRS = 2 m∠P = 2(57) = 114

Now m of arc SPQ = 360 - 114 = 246

So, m∠R = 1/2(246) = 123

m of arc RSP = 2 m∠Q = 2(89) = 178

m of arc PQR = 360 - 178 = 182

m∠S = 1/2(182) = 91
