Answer:

A sample size of 75 must be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population variance equals 484 and we have to find the sample size that needs to be taken if the desired margin of error is 5 or less.

As we know that the Margin of error formula is given by;

  Margin of error = Z_\frac{\alpha}{2} \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

where, \alpha = significance level = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 and  (\frac{\alpha}{2}) = 0.025.

           \sigma = standard deviation = \sqrt{Variance} = \sqrt{484} = 22

           n = sample size

Also, at 0.025 significance level the z table gives critical value of 1.96.

So,<u> margin of error</u> is ;

                     5=1.96 \times \frac{22}{\sqrt{n} }

                    \sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96 \times 22}{5}

                     \sqrt{n} = 8.624

Squaring both sides we get,

                      n = 8.264^{2} = 74.5

So, we must need at least a sample size of 75.

Answer:

We need a sample size of at least 75.

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{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

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 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, we 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.

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. So:

\sigma = \sqrt{484} = 22

With a .95 probability, the sample size that needs to be taken if the desired margin of error is 5 or less is

We need a sample size of at least n, in which n is found when M = 5. So

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

5 = 1.96*\frac{22}{\sqrt{n}}

5\sqrt{n} = 43.12

\sqrt{n} = \frac{43.12}{5}

\sqrt{n} = 8.624

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (8.624)^{2}

n = 74.4

We need a sample size of at least 75.

REY [17]

Answer:

0.572

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

We have

n = 1090 of US adults

x = 623 selected from this population at random who consider the occupation to be one of great prestige

So we have that

The probability of X = x/n

= 623/1090

= 0.572

We conclude that 0.572 is the probability that a US adult selected at random thinks the occupation has great prestige.

Could someone please explain I keep getting the wrong answer
Naddika [18.5K]
Of course! so basically for each value of x, for example -6, plug it into the equation. so for -6 do -2/3(-6)+7. hope this helps!
