Answer: 5 > k

Step-by-step explanation: When you're asked to solve an inequality like -45 < -9k, your goal should be the same as it was when solving equations which is to get k by itself on one side.

In this problem since k is being multiplied by -9 on the right side of the inequality, to get k by itself, we divide both sides by -9 but here is the rule you have to watch out for when solving inequalities.

When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign. So this less than in our original problem becomes greater than in our second step. I would recommend switching it as soon as possible so you don't forget.

Let's rewrite our original inequality.

-45 < -9k

On the right side, the -9's cancel and we're left with k and on the right side, -45 divided -9 is -5. So we have 5 > k.

One person wants to get a 95% z-confidence interval with a margin of error of at most 15 based on a population standard deviatio

Bess [88]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.96(60)}{15})^2 =61.46 \approx 62$

So the answer for this case would be n=62 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample
