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 right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AC =16 and DC=5 what is the length of BC in the simplest ra
Nana76 [90]

The length of BC is 4 \sqrt{5}.

Solution:

Given ABC is a right triangle.

AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.

AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.

AC = 16 and DC = 5

<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{BC}{DC}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{16}{x}=\frac{x}{5}$

Do cross multiplication.

\Rightarrow  16\times 5 = x\times x

\Rightarrow  80= x^2

\Rightarrow  16\times 5= x^2

Taking square root on both sides.

\Rightarrow  \sqrt{16\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}

\Rightarrow  \sqrt{4^2\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}

square and square roots get canceled, we get

\Rightarrow  4\sqrt{ 5} = x

The length of BC is 4 \sqrt{5}.

A parallelogram has a length of 6 centimeters and a width of 4.5 centimeters. This parallelogram is dilated by a scale factor of
Arada [10]
Scale factor is given by:
(length of larger figure)/(length of smaller figure)=(width of larger figure)/(width of the smaller figure)=3.4
The length of the larger figure will be given by:
length=(scale factor)*(length of smaller figure)
=3.4*6=20.4 cm
width of the larger figure will be given by:
width=(scale factor)*(width of smaller figure)
=3.4*4.5
=15.3 cm
Therefore the dimension of the new parallelogram will be 20.4 cm by 15.3 cm
