the Wall Street Journal reported that automobile crashes cost United States $162 billion annually. The average cost per person f

or crashes in the Tampa, Florida area was reported to be $1599. Suppose the average cost was based on a sample of 50 persons who had been involved in crashes and that the population standard deviation is $600.a.) What is the margin of error for a 95% confidence interval?b.) what would you recommend if the study required a margin of error of $150 or less?

Answer:

a) Margin of error = 166.311

b) sample size ≥ 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Average cost = $1599

Sample size = 50 persons

Standard deviation = $600

Confidence level is 95%

a) Margin of error = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Now for confidence level of 95% z-value = 1.96

Thus,

Margin of error = 1.96\frac{600}{\sqrt{50}}

or

Margin of error = 166.311

b) For Margin of error ≤ 150

z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} ≤ 150

or

1.96\frac{600}{\sqrt{n}} ≤ 150

or

1.96\frac{600}{150} ≤ √n

or

√n ≥ 7.84

or

n ≥ 61.4656

Therefore,

sample size ≥ 62

4n^(2)+4n=3<br> Please help with the work
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

n= 1/2 ( \frac{1}{2} )  or  (0.5)

AND

n= -3/2 ( -\frac{3}{2} ) or (-1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

4n^2+4n=3

step1: move 3 to the other side and make the equation equal to zero.

4n^2+4n-3=0

step2: factorise the equation.

(2n-1)(2n+3)=0

step3: make each bracket equal to zero.

2n-1=0

2n+3=0

step4: solve for n values.

<u>1.</u> 2n-1=0

(add 1 for both sides)

2n=1

(divide by 2 for both sides)

n= 1/2 ( \frac{1}{2} )  or  (0.5)

<u>2.</u> 2n+3=0

( subtract 3 for both sides)

2n=-3

(divide by 2 for both sides)

n= -3/2 ( -\frac{3}{2} ) or (-1.5)
