Answer:

The minimum sample needed to provide a margin of error of 3 or less is 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) is:

\bar x\pm z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The margin of error is:

MOE= z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

<u>Given:</u>

MOE = 3

<em>σ </em>= 11

The critical value for 95% confidence interval is: z_{\alpha /2}=1.96

**Use the <em>z</em>-table for critical values.

Compute the sample size (<em>n</em>) as follows:

MOE= z_{\alpha /2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\3=1.96\times \frac{11}{\sqrt{n}}\\n=(\frac{1.96\times11}{3} )^{2}\\=51.65\\\approx52

Thus, the minimum sample needed to provide a margin of error of 3 or less is 52.

(Always, sometimes, never question) If two sides and a non-included angle of one triangle are congruent to two sides and a non-i
anzhelika [568]

sometimes

the description is describing SSA, which is NOT a type of congruence.

since the congruent angle is non-included (which means it is not in between the two congruent sides), we can't say for sure if the triangles are congruent.

this is because the third side of the triangle is unknown, and that side might not be congruent to the same side in the other triangle.

i hope this helps!
