Answer:

n=465 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

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".

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=3.3 represent the population standard deviation

Confidence =0.95 or 95%

Me= 0.3, represent the margion of error

n represent the sample size (variable of interest)

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =0.3 mm and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (4) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 95% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)", and we got z_{\alpha/2}=1.960, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{1.960(3.3)}{0.3})^2 =464.8336 \approx 465

So the answer for this case would be n=465 rounded up to the nearest integer

Suppose that a large number of samples are taken from a population. Which of the following sample sizes will be most likely to r
Montano1993 [528]

If you use a large enough statistical sample size, you can apply the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) to a sample proportion for categorical data to find its sampling distribution. The population proportion, p, is the proportion of individuals in the population who have a certain characteristic of interest (for example, the proportion of all Americans who are registered voters, or the proportion of all teenagers who own cellphones). The sample proportion, denoted

A kite is 85 feet high with 100 feet of string let out. What is the angle of elevation of the string with the ground? Please sho
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  58°

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle can be drawn to model the geometry of the problem. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the length of the string, 100 ft. The side opposite the angle is the height of the kite above the ground, 85 ft.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between sides and angles.

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(α) = (85 ft)/(100 ft) = 0.85

The angle whose sine is 0.85 is found using the arcsine (inverse sine) function:

  α = arcsin(0.85) ≈ 58.2°

The angle of elevation is about 58°.

_____

When using your calculator to find the values of inverse trig functions, make sure it is in <em>degrees</em> mode. Otherwise, you're likely to get the answer in radians (≈ 1.01599 radians).
