Step-by-step explanation:
1) 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".
represent the sample mean for the sample
population mean (variable of interest)
s represent the sample standard deviation
n represent the sample size
Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of and
, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that
The margin of error is given by this formula:
And on this case we have that ME =7 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from the last equation we got:
And replacing the values that we got we have:
C) 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Shawn's living room is a square, so all four sides are the same length. Area of a square is A = s², and we know the area is 196 ft². If substitute this for A:
196 ft² = s²
Take square root of both sides:
s = √(196 ft²)
s = ±14 ft
Since measurements of lengths can't be negative, s must be +14 ft. So Shawn's living room is 14 ft x 14 ft.
