The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development publishes data on the fair market monthly rent for existing one-bedroom hou

sing by metropolitan area (The Federal Register, April 30 1997). The standard deviation for the monthly rent is about $80. Assume that a sample of metropolitan areas will be selected in order to estimate the population mean of the monthly rent for existing one-bedroom housing. Use 95% confidence. a. How large should the sample be if the desired margin of error is $25?

Answer:

n=(\frac{1.960(80)}{25})^2 =246.73 \approx 247

So the answer for this case would be n=247 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the standard deviation is :

\sigma = 80 represent the deviation

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =25 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 95% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution and the critical value would be z_{\alpha/2}=1.960, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{1.960(80)}{25})^2 =246.73 \approx 247

So the answer for this case would be n=247 rounded up to the nearest integer

ollegr [7]

Answer:

The towel costs 110 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be napkins, and t be towels. Then:

6n+t=200

and

n=t-95

So:

6(t-95)+t=200

7t-570=200

7t=770

t=110....................
