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

1. If the domain of a function f(x) is the set {10, 20, 30}. What does the information tell you about f-1(x)?
ziro4ka [17]

PART A (1 in diagram)

Each mapping diagram represents a function because none of the elements in the inputs maps on to two different elements in the outputs.

1. The domain of the given function f(x) is the set {10, 20, 30}.

All we can say about

{f}^{ - 1} (x)

is that, it has a range of {10, 20, 30}.

This is because the domain of a function becomes the range of its inverse function.

2. If the graph of a function f(x) includes the point (3, 0), then the graph of the inverse function ,

{f}^{ - 1} (x)

will contain the point (0,3).

Reason:The point on the graph of the inverse function is obtained by reflecting the corresponding point on the graph of the function in the line y=x. We just have to swap the coordinates.

In simple terms the domain of the function becomes the range of the inverse function and vice versa.

3. If the first term in an arithmetic sequence is 2.

Then we have a=2.

If the twelfth term is 211, then

a + 11d = 211...(1)

Put a=2 into this equation.

2 + 11d = 211

Solve for d.

11d = 211 - 2

11d = 209

d =  \frac{209}{11}  = 19

If

a_n = 135

then

a + (n - 1)d = 135

Substitute a=2 and d=19

2 + (n - 1)19 = 135

19(n - 1) = 133

(n - 1) =  \frac{133}{19}

n - 1 = 7

n = 7 + 1 = 8

Therefore n=8
