Is 15.050 larger than 15.500

1 answer:

3 0

No its smaller because 15.05 can be converted to fraction form as 15 and 5 over 100 15.5 is converted as 15 and 50 over 100 or one half

Answer:

$n=(\frac{2.33(19)}{7})^2 =39.996 \approx 40$

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

$\mu$ population mean

$\sigma=19$ represent the assumed population standard deviation

n represent the sample size (variable of interest)

Confidence =0.98 or 98%

Me=0.07 represent the margin of error for this case

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

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 equation (1) we got:

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

The critical value for 98% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.01,0,1)", and we got $z_{\alpha/2}=2.33$ , replacing into formula (2) we got:
