Answer:  267.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is no prior information for the population proportion, then the formula we use to find the sample size to estimate the confidence interval :

n=0.25(\dfrac{z^*}{E})^2 , where z* = Critical z-value and E + amrgin of error.

Let p = proportion of packages of ground beef sold at a particular store that have an actual fat content exceeding the fat content stated on the label.

Since , we have no prior information about p. so we use above formula

with E = 0.06 and critical value for 95% confidence =z* =1.96  [By z-table ] , we get

n=0.25(\dfrac{1.96}{0.06})^2=0.25(32.6666)^2\\\\=(0.25)(1067.111111)\\\\=266.777777778\approx267

Hence, the required sample size is 267.

Answer:

Natalie bought 500 apples at $0.40 each, then she pays $0.40 500 times, this means that the total cost of the 500 apples is:

Cost = 500*$0.40 = $200

Now she threw away n apples from the 500 apples, then the number of apples that she has now is:

apples = 500 - n

And she sells the remaining apples for $0.70 each.

a) The amount that she gets by selling the apples is:

Revenue = (500 - n)*$0.70

b) We know that she did not make a loss, then the revenue must be larger than the cost, this means that:

cost ≤ revenue

$200 ≤ (500 - n)*$0.70

c) We need to solve the inequality for n.

$200 ≤ (500 - n)*$0.70

$200/$0.70 ≤ (500 - n)

285.7  ≤ 500 - n

n + 285.7 ≤ 500

n ≤ 500 - 285.7

n ≤ 214.3

Then the maximum value of n must be equal or smaller than 214.3

And n is a whole number, then we can conclude that the maximum number of rotten apples can be 214.

Results from a survey conducted in a certain grocery store showed that 3 out of 5 people preferred crispy-flakes cereal to crunc
BabaBlast [244]

The number of people who how many most likely purchased crunchy-flakes cereal is 1000 customers.

<h3>How many most likely purchased crunchy-flakes cereal?</h3>

Ratio expresses the relationship between two or more numbers. It shows the number of times that one value is contained within other value(s).

The first step is to determine the ratio of people who preferred crunchy-flakes cereal:

Ratio of people who preferred crunchy-flakes cereal : 5 - 3 = 2

Now, multiply the ratio of those who prefer crunchy-flakes cereal by the total number of customers: (2/5) x 2500 = 1000  customers.
