A fast food restaurant executive wishes to know how many fast food meals adults eat each week. They want to construct a 95% conf

idence interval with an error of no more than 0.07 meals. A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 8.1 fast food meals per week and found the standard deviation to be 2.
What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval?

Given Information:  

Confidence level = 95%  

Error = 0.07

Mean = μ = 8.1

Standard deviation = σ = 2

Required Information:  

Sample size = n = ?

Answer:  

Sample size = n ≤ 2209

Step-by-step explanation:  

The sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is given by

error ≤ z*(σ/√n)

Where z is the corresponding z-score of 95 percentile, n is the sample size and σ is the standard deviation and error is no more than 0.07

√n ≤ z*σ/error

n ≤ (z*σ/error)²

The z-score for 95% confidence level is 1.645

n ≤ (1.645*2/0.07)²

n ≤ 2209

Therefore, a sample size of n ≤ 2209 is required to create a 95% confidence interval with an error of no more than 0.07.

I have these factoring questions I need help with.
snow_lady [41]

f(x)=4x^2+4x-3

1. Determine y-intercept.

<em>The y-intercept is (0,-3). Substitute x = 0 in the equation as we get f(x) = -3 as the y-intercept.</em>

2. Determine the zeros.

<em>Factor the polynomials first. </em>(2x-1)(2x+3) <em>This is the factored form. The zeros are the roots of equation. Therefore, the zeros are 1/2 and -3/2</em>

3. Determine the Axis of Symmetry

<em>We can solve this by using the formula of </em>x=-\frac{b}{2a}  <em>However, I'll be solving the Axis of Symmetry with Calculus instead.</em>

<em />f'(x)=2(4x^{2-1})+1(4x^{1-1})-0\\f'(x)=8x+4<em />

<em>Then let f'(x) = 0 to find the Axis of Symmetry.</em>

<em />8x+4=0\\8x=-4\\x=-\frac{4}{8}\\x=-\frac{1}{2}<em />

<em>Therefore, the Axis of Symmetry is -1/2</em>

4. Determine the vertex.

<em>Substitute the value of Axis of Symmetry in f(x).</em>

<em />f(x)=4(-\frac{1}{2})^2+4(-\frac{1}{2})-3\\f(x)=4(\frac{1}{4})-2-3\\f(x)=1-2-3\\f(x)=-4<em />

<em>Therefore the vertex is at (-1/2, -4)</em>

5. Does the vertex representing max-pont or min-point?

<em>The vertex represents the minimum point. The graph is upward, meaning the minimum point is the point that gives the LOWEST Y-VALUE. </em>

7. Graph f(x)

<em>Unfortunately I won't be able to graph. But I can tell you to graph a parabola that has the most curve at the vertex and intercepts y-axis at (0,-3).</em>

<em>--------------------------- </em>End of Part 1 --------------------------------

2. Write the general form of Quadratic Function in standard form.

y=ax^2+bx+c

<em>The graph can be easily determined about the y-intercept and being an upward or downward parabola along with how narrow or wide the parabola is. </em>

<em>For example, c value is the y-intercept as defined. When a > 0, the parabola is upward and when a < 0, the parabola is downward. The more value of | a | is, the more narrow it will be and the less value of | a | it is, the wider it will be.</em>

3. Write in Factored Form

y=(x+a)(x+b)\\y=(x-a)(x-b)\\y=(x+a)(x-b)\\y=(x-a)(x+b)

<em>These are factored forms with different types of operators.</em>

<em>The equation can be easily determined about the roots of equation. For example, if the function is in f(x) = (x+2)(x-1) Then the roots would be x = -2 and 1 as the graph will intercept x-axis at (-2,0) and (1,0)</em>

4. Write in Vertex Form.

y=a(x-h)^2+k

<em>The equation can be easily determined for the vertex, axis of symmetry and the same narrow/wide/upward/downward parabola again.</em>

<em>The vertex is at (h,k) and the axis of symmetry is at x = h.</em>

<em>For example, </em>y=(x-2)^2+3<em />

<em>The vertex would be at (2,3) and the axis of symmetry is x = 2.</em>
