A fast food restaurant executive wishes to know how many fast food meals adults eat each week. They want to construct a 98% conf

idence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 6.6 fast food meals per week and found the standard deviation to be 0.7. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answer:

415

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Level = 98%

Z-value for this confidence level = z = 2.326

Margin of error = E = 0.08

Mean = u = 6.6

Standard deviation = \sigma=0.7

Required Sample Size = n = ?

The formula for margin of error is:

E=z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Re-arranging the equation for n, and using the given values we get:

n=(\frac{z\sigma}{E} )^{2}\\\\ n=(\frac{2.326 \times 0.7}{0.08} )\\\\ n=415

Thus, the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 415

albert knows the month
bernard knows the day


first:
albert doesn't know, so his month that he is given must repeat at least once

bernard doesn't know at first, so the day must repeat as well, so it can't be the 19 nor the 16th

the only way for albert to know that bernard doesn't know is that albert must not have been told a month with 16 or 19 in it
that eliminates may and june, leaving july and august

2nd line, now bernard deduces that albert must have been told either july or august
he could not have been told 14 since he would not be able to tell if it was july or august
he was therefor told 15,16, or 17

3rd line:
now albert knows that it is either 15,16,17
notice that july is 16
15 and 17 are both on august
for albert to know what the date is, he must have been told july ( the only one with 1 date on it)


so the birthday is july 16

Kiran is about to start hiking on a trail that is 1.8 miles long. In his past hikes on the same trail, he had walked at a consta
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

F(t) = 1.8 - 0.04t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Length of trail = 1.8m

Walking speed = 0.04 miles per minute

Distance left, t minutes after one statues walking :

Total distance covered after t minutes = speed * time = 0.04t

Distance left after t minutes :

Initial distance - distance covered

Hence,

F(t) = 1.8 - 0.04t
