Families USA, a monthly magazine that discusses issues related to health and health costs, surveyed 20 of its subscribers. It fo

und that the annual health insurance premiums for a family with coverage through an employer averaged $10,979. The standard deviation of the sample was $1,000.
a. Based on this sample information, develop a 90 percent confidence interval for the population mean yearly premium.
b. How large a sample is needed to find the population mean within $250 at 99 percent confidence?

Given Information:

Standard deviation = σ = $1000

Mean = μ = $10,979

Confidence level = 90%

Margin of error = $250

Sample size = n = 20

Required Information:

a) 90%  confidence interval = ?

b) Sample size at 99% confidence = n = ?

Answer:

a) 90%  confidence interval =  ($10,611.17, $11,346.83)

b) Sample size at 99% confidence = n = 107

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The confidence interval is given by

confidence interval = μ ± z*σ/√n

Where μ is the mean annual health insurance premium, σ is the standard deviation, n is number of subscribers that were surveyed, and z is the corresponding z-score for 90% confidence level.

The z-score for 90% confidence level is 1.645

Confidence interval = 10,979 ± (1.645*1000)/√20

Confidence interval = 10,979 ± 367.83

upper limit = 10,979 + 367.83 = 11,346.83

lower limit = 10,979 - 367.83 = 10,611.17

Confidence interval = ($10,611.17, $11,346.83)

Which means that we are 90% confident that the annual health insurance premiums for a family with coverage through an employer is between  ($10,611.17, $11,346.83)

b) To find the required sample size

Me = z*(σ/√n)

√n = z*σ/Me

n = (z*σ/Me)²

Where z is the corresponding z-score, n is the required sample size σ is the standard deviation and Me is the margin of error that is $250

The z-score for 99% confidence level is 2.576

n = (2.576*1000/250)²

n = 106.17

n = 107

Therefore, a sample size of 107 is needed to find the population mean within $250 at 99% confidence.

9+(6w+3w) how do I do this it is to hardThe expression (9+6w)+3w
Mama L [17]

Answer: 9w+9

Step-by-step explanation:

First combine like terms: 6w+3w

You can't combine 9 and 9w so that would be your answer.

Then if it calls for it, use the commutitive property to move 9w before 9.

Hope this helps!
