Answer:

(a) Margin of error ( E) = $2,000 , n = 54

(b)   Margin of error ( E) = $1,000 , n = 216

(c)   Margin of error ( E) = $500 , n= 864

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Standard deviation \sigma = $7,500

\alpha = 1 - confidence interval = 1 - .95 = .05

Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} =  Z_{\frac{.05}{2}} = 1.96

let sample size is n

(a) Margin of error ( E) = $2,000

Margin of error ( E)  = Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

                           E   = Z_{\frac{.05}{2}}\frac{7500}{\sqrt{n}}

Squaring both side

E^{2} = 1.96^{2}\times\frac{7500^{2}}{n}

n =\frac{1.96^{2}}{2000^{2}} \times 7500^{2}

n =  54.0225

n = 54 ( approximately)

(b)   Margin of error ( E) = $1,000

          E     = Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

         1000   =  Z_{\frac{.05}{2}}\frac{7500}{\sqrt{n}}

Squaring both side

1000^{2} = 1.96^{2}\times\frac{7500^{2}}{n}

n =\frac{1.96^{2}}{1000^{2}} \times 7500^{2}

n = 216

(c)   Margin of error ( E) = $500

   E = Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

  500 = Z_{\frac{.05}{2}}\frac{7500}{\sqrt{n}}

Squaring both side

500^{2} = 1.96^{2}\times\frac{7500^{2}}{n}

n =\frac{1.96^{2}}{500^{2}} \times 7500^{2}

n = 864

Improper fraction for 3 1/14
TEA [102]

Answer: 43/14

Step-by-step explanation: You take you 3 and times it by 14 and + 1 because the equation is saying 14/14 3 times plus the 1/14,

So 3 times 14=42

42+1=43 and then you take the 43 and put it over the 14 so now you have your answer: 43/14

Answer:

54 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The median length would be in the middle of the values in order, so you could order the numbers 50,50,52,53,54,55,55,55,57. You would then find the middle value which would be the 5th value in a list of 9. In this case, it would be 54 millimeters.
