A fast food restaurant executive wishes to know how many fast food meals teenagers eat each week. They want to construct a 99% c

onfidence interval with an error of no more than 0.06. A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 6.4 fast food meals per week and found the standard deviation to be 1.1. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval

Answer:

The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 2229.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval

This is n when M = 0.06, \sigma = 1.1

0.06 = 2.575*\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{n}}

0.06\sqrt{n} = 2.575*1.1

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*1.1}{0.06}

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*1.1}{0.06})^{2}

n = 2228.6

Rounding up

The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 2229.

State whether the given measurements determine zero, one, or two triangles.
Lady bird [3.3K]
I bet you're doing the Law of Sines right now. If you use the law of sines you find out that angle A is a 90 degree angle. There is only one triangle you can make with these measurements because if you have one angle of 30 and another of 90, the 3rd angle has to be a 60 degree angle. So it is a special right triangle, 30-60-90
