Answer: 82

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sample size is given by :-

n= (\dfrac{z^*\cdot \sigma}{E})^2

, where E = Margin of error.

\sigma = Population standard deviation for the prior study.

As per given , we have

\sigma=387.40 gallons.

Margin of error : E= 110 gallons

Critical value for 99% confidence level = z* = 2.576

Then, the required sample size : n= (\dfrac{(2.576)\cdot (387.40)}{110})^2

n= (9.07220363636)^2\approx82  {Rounded to the nearest integer.}

Hence, the minimum sample size = 82

AC=(5x+12) and BD =8x? Can somebody help me to slove it
AleksAgata [21]
To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.
