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.

On the 7th, Andi had $48 in her account. We want to find when she had $92 less than what she had on the 7th.

First, let's find out how much $92 less is:

48 - 92 = -44

We are looking for when Andi had $-44 in her account. Looking at the number line, the day Andi had $-44 in her account was on the 14th.

The correct answer is C. The 14th.

Hope this helps!! :)

What is the equation of this line in slope-intercept form?
Sloan [31]

The correct answer is A) y = -3x - 1

In order to find this, start by using the two points on the line to find the slope.

m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-4 - 2)/(1 - -1)

m = -6/2

m = -3

Since A is the only one with a -3 slope, this is the correct answer.
