A fashion designer wants to know how many new dresses women buy each year. Assume a previous study found the standard deviation

to be 1.8. She thinks the mean is 5.7 dresses per year. What is the minimum sample size required to ensure that the estimate has an error of at most 0.12 at the 85% level of confidence? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answer:

<em>The sample size 'n' = 242</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

Given mean of the sample = 5.7

Given standard deviation of the sample (σ)  = 1.8

The Margin of error  (M.E) = 0.12

Level of significance = 0.85 or 85%

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

<u><em>The margin of error is determined by</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>M.E = \frac{Z_{\alpha }S.D }{\sqrt{n} }<u><em></em></u>

The critical value Z₀.₁₅ = 1.036

0.12 = \frac{1.036 X 1.8 }{\sqrt{n} }

Cross multiplication , we get

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.036 X 1.8}{0.12}

√n  =  15.54

Squaring on both sides, we get

n = 241.49≅ 241.5≅242

<u>Conclusion:-</u>

<em>The sample size 'n' = 242</em>

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

f(6) = -3 * 6 + 10 = -18 + 10 = -8

g(f(6)) = g(-8)

g(-8) = (-8)^{2} + 3 * (-8) - 12 = 64 - 24 - 12 = 64 - 36 = 28

P(r/w) is the probability of picking a red rose at first picking and a white rose at second picking.
P(w/r) is the probability of picking a white rose at first picking and a red rose at second picking.

P(r/w) = \frac{11}{19}×\frac{8}{18} = \frac{88}{342}
P(w/r) = \frac{8}{19}×\frac{11}{18}=\frac{88}{342}

Notice that the second fraction is out of 18 because the second picking of rose will be out of 18 since the first rose is not replaced.

P(r/w) equals to P(w/r)
