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
