A research company desires to know the mean consumption of milk per week among males over age 45. They believe that the milk con

sumption has a mean of 4.5 liters, and want to construct a 95% confidence interval with a maximum error of 0.08 liters. Assuming a variance of 1 liters, what is the minimum number of males over age 45 they must include in their sample? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answer:

The minimum number of males over age 45 they must include in their sample is 601

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.025 = 0.975, so z = 1.96

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population(square root of the variance) and n is the size of the sample.

Assuming a variance of 1 liters, what is the minimum number of males over age 45 they must include in their sample?

This is n when \sigma = \sqrt{1} = 1, M = 0.08

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

0.08 = 1.96*\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}

0.08\sqrt{n} = 1.96

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96}{0.08}

\sqrt{n} = 24.5

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (24.5)^{2}

n = 600.25

Rounding up

The minimum number of males over age 45 they must include in their sample is 601

Answer:

C) 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the mean of the sample

Add the numbers together and divide by the number of points

mean = ( 4.5 + 6.25 + 3+ 2.5+ 7 + 6.75)/6

         =30/6

          =5
