Find the minimum sample size necessary to be 99% confident that the population mean is within 3 units of the sample mean given t

hat the population standard deviation is 29. (a) What is the critical value that corresponds to the given level of confidence? Round your answer to two decimals, and remember that critical values are always positive.

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

Given: △DMN, DM=10 3 m∠M=75°, m∠N=45° Find: Perimeter of △DMN
OlgaM077 [116]

Angle D is 180° -75° -45° = 60°. Drawing altitude MX to segment DN divides the triangle into ΔMDX, a 30°-60°-90° triangle, and ΔMNX, a 45°-45°-90° triangle. We know the side ratios of such triangles (shortest-to-longest) are ...

... 30-60-90: 1 : √3 : 2

... 45-45-90: 1 : 1 : √2

The long side of ΔMDX is 10√3, so the other two sides are

... MX = MD(√3/2) = 15

... DX = MD(1/2) = 5√3

The short side of ΔMNX is MX = 15, so the other two sides are

... NX = MX(1) = 15

... MN = MX(√2) = 15√2

Then the perimeter of ΔDMN is ...

... P = DM + MN + NX + XD

... P = 10√3 +15√2 + 15 + 5√3

... P = 15√3 +15√2 +15 . . . . perimeter of ΔDMN

A shop sells newspapers for a profit of 0.5%. His sales for the month of January were $8341.50. How much of this is profit?
Doss [256]
Amount of sales  of newspapers for the month of January = $8341.50
Percentage of profit for which the newspaper is sold = 0.5%
Then
Amount of profit made in the month of January = 0.5% * 8341.50 dollars
                                                                           = (0.5/100) * 8341.50 dollars
                                                                           = 4170.75/100 dollars
                                                                           = 41.707 dollars
                                                                           = 41.71 dollars
So the shop makes a profit of $41.71 in the month of January by selling newspapers worth $8341.50. I hope the procedure is perfectly clear for you to understand.
