a shop sells sweets in bags of 7 and 20 what is the largest number of sweets that cannot be purchased exactly?

1 answer:

8 0

By the Frobenius Coin Theorem, also known as the Postage Stamp Theorem or the Chicken McNugget Theorem, the maximum amount that cannot be represented as a sum of multiples of two relatively prime numbers a and b (numbers that have GCF of 1) is ab-a-b. Plugging 7 and 20 in, our answer is 7*20-7-20, or 140-27, or 113.

In a survey, the planning value for the population proportion is . How large a sample should be taken to provide a confidence in

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

n=350

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions

$n$ random sample taken (variable of interest)

$\hat p=0.35$ estimated proportion (value assumed)

$p$ true population proportion

Confidence =0.95 or 95% (value assumed)

Me=0.05 (value assumed)

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 95% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ . And the critical value would be given by:
