Customers arrive at a movie theater at the advertised movie time only to find that they have to sit through several previews and

prepreview ads before the movie starts. Many complain that the time devoted to previews is too long (The Wall Street Journal, October 12, 2012). A preliminary sample conducted by The Wall Street Journal showed that the standard deviation of the amount of time devoted to previews was four minutes. Use that as a planning value for the standard deviation in answering the following questions. a. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 75 seconds, what sample size should be used? Assume 95% confidence.

Answer:

a) sample size is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

\sigma=4 minutes

Margin of error, E is 75 seconds E=75/60= 1.25 minutes.

The level of significance \alpha= 0.05 for 95% level of significance

For 95% confidence interval z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=1.96 from standard deviation table

Sample size required, n

n=\left (\frac{z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot \sigma}{E} \right )^{2}=\left (\frac{1.96\cdot4}{75/60} \right )^{2}=39.337984

Rounding off, n=40

Sample size =40

Keywords:

95% confidence, sample size, Wall Street Journal

Dean sot a goal to do more than 900 push-ups this month. So far, he has done 230 push-ups, and there are 20 more days remaining
vampirchik [111]

Step-by-step explanation:

he has 900-230 = 670 more push-ups to do in the remaining 20 days.

so, he has to do every day

670/20 = 67/2 = 33.5 push-ups.

fractions of push-ups don't make sense.

we cannot say, he has to do at least 33 per day, because then he might come short in the end (if he sticks to the low limit) .

so, we have to say he has to do more than 33 or at least 34 push-ups per day to be sure he will at least reach his goal.

p > 33

or

p >= 34

both should be correct in the context of using only whole numbers.

bur in case of doubt I would pick p >= 34.
