The length of needles produced by a machine has standard deviation of 0.01 inches. assuming that the distribution is normal, how

large a sample is needed to determine with a precision of ±0.005 inches the mean length of the produced needles to 95% confidence?

Let X be the length of needle produced by machine. X follows Normal distribution with standard deviation σ=0.01

The margin of error ME = 0.005 and confidence interval is 95%

We have to find here sample size n from given information

The formula to find sample size when population standard deviation is known is

n =[\frac{z_{\alpha/2} standard deviation}{ME}] ^{2}

where z_{\alpha/2} is critical z value for 95% confidence interval

We have confidence level, c=0.95

α = 1- c = 1-0.95 = 0.05

α/2 = 0.05 /2 = 0.025

z (0.025) is z score value for which probability below -z is 0.025 and above z is 0.025

Using z score table to get z critical value

z = -1.96

For confidence interval calculation we use positive z score value 1.96

The sample size will be then

n = [\frac{1.96 * 0.01}{0.005}]^{2}

n = 15.3664

Rounding sample size to nearest integer n=15

a sample is needed to determine with a precision of ±0.005 inches the mean length of the produced needles to 95% confidence is 15

Find the GCF 0f 12 and 18
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Euclid's algorithm, we divide the larger by the smaller. If the remainder is zero, the divisor is the GCF. Otherwise, we replace the larger with the remainder and repeat.

  18 ÷ 12 = 1 r 6

  12 ÷ 6 = 2 r 0 . . . . the GCF is 6

__

You can also factor the numbers and see what the common factors are.

  18 = 2·3·3

  12 = 2·2·3

The common factors are 2·3 = 6.

In the factorizations, we see 2 to powers of 1 and 2, and we see 3 to powers of 1 and 2. The GCF is the product of the common factors to their lowest powers: (2^1)(3^1) = (2)(3) = 6
