A soft drink manufacturer wishes to know how many soft drinks adults drink each week. They want to construct a 85% confidence in

terval with an error of no more than 0.06. A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 7.6 soft drinks per week and found the variance to be 0.81. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answer:

The minimum sample size is 1867 observations.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to construct an 85% confidence interval that has an error less than 0.06. It means that the difference between the upper limit (UL) and the lower limit (LL) has to be 0.06.

UL-LL= e =0.06

UL-LL= e =0.06\\X+z*s/\sqrt{n} -(X-z*s/\sqrt{n}) = e\\2*z*s/\sqrt{n}=e\\

The only variable we can adjust is the number of observations (n)

2*z*s/\sqrt{n}=e\\\\\sqrt{n}=\frac{2*z*s}{e}\\\\ n=(\frac{2*z*s}{e})^{2}=\frac{4*z^{2} *s^{2} }{e^{2} }

For a 85% confidence interval, the z-score is 1.440.

The estimated variance (s^2) is 0.81.

The error e is 0.06.

n= 4*(1.440)^{2} *0.81/(0.06)^{2} \\\n=4*2.0736*0.81/0.0036= 6.7184 / 0.0036 = 1866.24

The sample has to be at least of 1867 observations.

Answer:

4. C

5. 7

6. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Four:

You have to multiply both of them. Just easy math!

Five:

This one is more complicated. You can see that it is asking you to plug in for a,

F(3):

f(3)= 4(3)-5

f(3)=12-5

f(3)=7

F(1.25):

f(1.25)=4(1.25)-5

f(1.25)=5-5f(1.25)=0

So now just subtract the answers. 7-0 equals 7.

Six:

Just look at the graph and see what number corresponds with y(6), or the 6 on the y axis. It appears to be three.

Have a nice day! Hope this helps. Don't forget to mark brainliest!

Points R, S, and T are collinear, and S is between R and T, in addition, RS = 2x-4, ST = 3x+2, and RT = 13. Find the value of RS
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

RS = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Points R, S, and T are collinear, and S is between R and T, in addition, RS = 2x-4, ST = 3x+2, and RT = 13. Find the value of RS

Hence:

RS + ST = RT

2x - 4 + 3x + 2 = 13

2x + 3x - 4 + 2 = 13

5x - 2 = 13

5x = 13 + 2

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

To find the value of RS

RS = 2x-4

RS = 2 × 3 - 4

RS = 6 - 4

RS = 2
