Suppose we want a 90% confidence interval for the average amount spent on entertainment (movies, concerts, dates, etc.) by fresh

man in their first semester at a large university. The interval is to have a maximum bound on the error (or simply margin of error) of $2, and the amount spent has a normal distribution with a known standard deviation $30. The number of observations required is at least

Answer:

609

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation = \sigma = $30

Margin of error = E = $2

Confidence level = 90%

Since the distribution is said to be normal, we will use z scores to solve this problem.

The z score for 90% confidence level = z = 1.645

Sample size= n = ?

The formula to calculate the margin of error is:

E=z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\sqrt{n}=z\frac{\sigma}{E}\\\\n=(\frac{z\sigma}{E} )^{2}

Using the values in above equation, we get:

n=(\frac{1.645 \times 30}{2} )^{2}\\\\ n = 608.9

This means, the minimum number of observations required is 609

Answer:

Y=0.1(1.25)^t is growth. Y=426(0.98)^t is decay. Y=100(1-1/2)^t is decay. Y=((1-0.03) 1/2) ^2t is decay. And y=2050(1/2)^t is decay. Hope this helps!

Answer:

3000 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, scale this one up. Multiply each by 2. consider area of a trapezoid. A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) h. This will be 1/2 (20 + 30) * 20, so you'll get 500 square in. Then, multiply by 6 since Buffy is making 6 of them. 500 * 6 = 3000 square inches.
