A random sample of 85 adults found that the average calorie consumption was 2100 per day. Previous research has found a standard

deviation of 450 calories, and you use this value for \sigma σ. A researcher wants to estimate a 95% confidence interval and is willing to accept a margin of error of \pm 50 ± 50 calories. She knows it will cost $50 to survey each member of the sample. Given this information, how much will it cost to survey the minimum number of people?

Answer:

$15600

Step-by-step explanation:

Minimum number of samples can be calculated using the formula:

N≥(\frac{z*s}{ME})^2 where

  • N is the sample size
  • z is the corresponding z-score for 95% confidence level (1.96)
  • s is the standard deviation of the calorie consumption (450 cal.)
  • ME is the margin of error that the researcher is willing to accept. (50 cal)

N≥(\frac{1.96*450}{50})^2 =311.2

Therefore, minimum required sample size for 50 cal standard error in 95% confidence is 312

Since the survey costs $50 for each person then the survey costs minimum

50*312=$15600

Help please this increases my average mark
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

He drove 111 miles

If we were given the distance Lan drove last weekend instead off how much gas he used then we would have to find the amount of gas used by lan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ian's car can go 185 miles on 5 gallons of gas

On 5 gallons of gas lan's car can go 185 miles

Therefore in gallon of gas lan 's car can go

185/5 = 37

So, for 3 gallons of gas lan's car can go

3 × 37 = 111

for 3 gallons of gas lan's car can go 111 miles

If we were given the distance Lan drove last weekend instead off how much gas he used then we would have to find the amount of gas used by lan.

I don’t know how to answer the question
OlgaM077 [116]

Let the partitions of the segment be 5k and 3k .
.
5k+3k = length of segment
Suppose the length of segment is y
8k = y
k = y/8
.
Hence ,
5k = 5(y/8)
3k = 3(y/8)
.
As the value of the segment wasn't given , it seems a bit complicated..
.
Hope u understand!
