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.

3. ms. Johnson placed two different orders with TR's special item store. each order was for 40 jars with the circus logo imprint
denis23 [38]
1.The height is 6 inches ad the width (diameter) is 3 inches!
2. So the jars are Volume ≈  42.41 inches so each boy needs 200 / 42.41 which equals approximately 4.72 inches per jar. So if wach boys have half the amount of jars which is 20 you multiply 20 by 4.72 which is 94.4 inches for each boy!
