Answer:

623

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that margin of error (E) = 3 unit, standard deviation (σ) = 29, sample size (n) = ?

a) The confidence (C) = 99% = 0.99

α = 1 - C = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

α/2 = 0.01 / 2 = 0.005

From the normal distribution table, The z score of α/2 (0.005) is the critical value and it corresponds to the z score 0.495 (0.5 - 0.005) which is 2.58.

critical\ value = z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }=z_{0.005}=2.58\\

b) The margin of error (E) is given as:

<h3>E=z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }\\\\\sqrt{n}= z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\frac{\sigma}{E }\\ \\n=( z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\frac{\sigma}{E })^2\\\\Substituting:\\\\n=(2.58*\frac{29}{3} )^2=622.0036\\\\\\n=623(to\ the \ next\ whole\ number)</h3>

The minimum sample size (n) is 623

If people have 6 apples and 46 lemons each, how much would 423 people get?<br><br> [URGENT]
Leto [7]

Answer:

2,538 apples and 19,458 lemons.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 person gets 6 apples and 48 lemons. Now there are different ways of solving this. One is using a calculator and/or multiplication. If 423 people get 6 apples each, we need to get the total by multipling.

423*6=2538 apples.

Now lets do the same thing with the lemons.

423*46=19458 lemons.

There would be a total of 2,538 apples and 19,458 lemons for 423 people.

Pls Answer! Will give brainliest. Khanna earns a annual salary of $33,000. Her federal income tax bracket is 20%. She also must
maks197457 [2]

Answer: $3,581

Step-by-step explanation:

As she plans to save from her net income, we have to find the net income first:

= Net income - Federal taxes - Social and Medicare taxes

= 33,000 - (33,000 * 20%) - (33,000 * 7.65%)

= $23,875.50

The savings will be:

= Net income * Savings percentage

= 23,875.50 * 15%

= $3,581.325

= $3,581
