Answer:

324

Step-by-step explanation:

given that in a poll, 74% of the people polled answered yes to the question "Are you in favor of the death penalty for a person convicted of murder?"

i.e. Sample proportion p=0.74\\q =1-p =0.26\\

Margin of error = 4% = 0.04

Confidence level =90%

Z critical value for 90% = 1.645

Margin of error = 1.645 * std error

Hence std error = \frac{0.04}{1.645} \\=0.0243

Std error is also equal to

\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.74(0.26)}{n} } =0.0243\\\sqrt{n} =18..05\\n = 325.83~324

Sample size should be 324.

The formula is sample size = (Z critical value)^2 (pq)/(Margin of error )^2

Delicious77 [7]
For a box shown in the images, to see the more cost-effective option, one has to simply compare which of the two boxes has the large volume. This can be done by multiplying the length, width, and the height to find the volume. This is shown below:

Box A:

Volume = 2 * 3 * 4 = 24 ft^3

Box B:

Volume = 2 * 5 * 2.5 = 25 ft^3

Therefore, the second box is the more cost-effective of the two.
