Answer:

The sample of students required to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college is of size, 3458.

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) is:

CI=\bar x\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The margin of error of a (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for population mean (<em>μ</em>) is:

MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

The information provided is:

<em>σ</em> = $60

<em>MOE</em> = $2

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 95% confidence level is:

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05/2}=z_{0.025}=1.96

Compute the sample size as follows:

MOE=z_{\alpha/2}\times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

       n=[\frac{z_{\alpha/2}\times \sigma }{MOE}]^{2}

          =[\frac{1.96\times 60}{2}]^{2}

          =3457.44\\\approx 3458

Thus, the sample of students required to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college is of size, 3458.

i need help with this questions asap please. A grocery clerk is making a display of oranges. The numbers of oranges in the layer
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

If there is 1 at the top, then you have 1, then 2, then 3, etc.

total number of oranges equals:

1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 16 + 17 + 18 <-- stop at  18 because this is the number of oranges at the base

You can use the formula:

sum of first n numbers = n*(n + 1)/2

-->

18*19/2 = 9*19 = 171

or you can figure it out (basically derive the above formula):

you have:

1 + 18 = 19

2 + 17 = 19

3 + 16 = 19

...

How many pairs do you have?  Well, it's just the number of numbers: 1-18 = 18 numbers (divide by 2) = 9 pairs)

9 pairs of 19 = 9 * 19 = 171

Hope this helps!
