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

Can someone help me plz
galina1969 [7]
A= about 75 cents -- This is because you would figure out what 5% is equal to (.05). Then, you would do .05 x 14.90 to get the amount of sales tax you will be paying. By doing this you will get .745 which is approximately .75 which would become 75 cents

b= $15.65 -- For this one, you would do the cents (.75) plus the total (14.90) So you would do 14.90+.75 which = 15.65.

Hope this helped :)
