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

Ramon wants to make an acute triangle with three pieces of wood. So far, he has cut wood lengths of 7 inches and 3 inches. He st
o-na [289]

Answer: Exactly square root 58 inches

Step-by-step explanation: The dimensions given for the right angled triangle are 7 inches and 3 inches respectively. The third side is yet unknown. However what we know is that a right angled triangle can be solved by using the Pythagoras theorem which states that,

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

Where AC is the longest side. The question requires us to calculate the longest side and with the other two sides already known, the Pythagoras theorem now becomes,

AC^2 = 7^2 + 3^2

AC^2 = 49 + 9

AC^2 = 58

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

AC = square root 58 inches
