Answer:

The smallest sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error is 44.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think there was a small typing error, we have that \sigma = 60 is the standard deviation of these weighs.

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

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

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 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645

Now, find the margin of error M as such

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

Which of these is the smallest approximate sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error?

This sample size is n.

n is found when M = 15

So

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

15 = 1.645*\frac{60}{\sqrt{n}}

15\sqrt{n} = 1.645*60

Simplifying by 15

\sqrt{n} = 1.645*4

(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (1.645*4)^{2}

n = 43.3

Rounding up

The smallest sample size required to obtain the desired margin of error is 44.

The associative property of addition is pretty much just any numbers in place of these: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c. Therefore, your answer would be d) (6 + 1) + 9 = 6 + (1 + 9)

What is the solution of the equation 3/4x +5 = -9?<br> 16<br> 3<br> Done
Licemer1 [7]
X=-56/3

multiply everything by 4 to cancel the fraction which will give you
3x+20=-36

then combine like terms to get
3x=-56

then divide to get x by itself to get

x=-56/3

since this is a weird decimal, leave it as an improper fraction
