A statistics student would like to estimate the average age of students at her college. She would like to be 99% confident that

her estimate includes the actual college population mean. She did a smaller preliminary survey and found that a reasonable estimate of the population standard deviation was 2 1/2 years. How many people must she survey if she wants to be within 1/2 year of the true population mean?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a statistics student would like to estimate the average age of students at her college.

Population std dev =2.5years

For 99% , Z critical = ±2.59

Margin of error =  ±2.59*\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{n} }  \\= \frac{±6.475}{\sqrt{n} } =0.5

Simplify to get

\sqrt{n} =12.95

n = 167.70

n=168

She must survey 168 people

ehidna [41]

Lynn mixes 39 pounds of water with 48 pounds of brick dust, so the mixture has a total weight of 39 + 48 = 87 pounds.

13 pounds are spilled during mixing, so she's left with 87 - 13 = 74 pounds to turn into bricks.

7 pounds are needed for 1 brick, so she can make 10 bricks because 7 • 10 = 70 and 7 • 11 = 77, and 70 < 74 < 77.

If she uses the mixture to make 10 bricks, she uses up 70 pounds of it, which leaves 4 pounds to be washed out.
