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.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

87.08% percentage of families spend more than $4000 annually on food and drink

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

average annual expenditure on food and drink for all families is $5700

Mean  (\nu) = 5700

standard deviation (\sigma ) = 1500

Let X be the no of families spend annually on food and drink

percentage of families spend more than $4000 annually on food and drink =

P(X > 4000)  = P(\frac{X - \nu }{\sigma }> \frac{ 4000 - 5700}{1500})

                      =  P(Z > - 1.13)     Using  (Z = \frac{X - \nu }{\sigma })

                      =  1 - P(Z

                      = 1 - .1292

                      = .8708

                       = 87.08%

If f (x) = x + 7 and g (x) = StartFraction 1 Over x minus 13 EndFraction, what is the domain of (f circle g) (x)?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

R-{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

f(x)=x+7

g(x)=\frac{1}{x-13}

We have to find the domain of fog(x).

fog(x)=f(g(x))

fog(x)=f(\frac{1}{x-13})

fog(x)=\frac{1}{x-13}+7=\frac{1+7x-91}{x-13}=\frac{7x-90}{x-13}

Domain of f(x)=R

Because it is linear function.

Domain of g(x)=R-{13}

Because the g(x) is not defined at x=13

fog(x) is not defined at x=13

Therefore, domain of fog(x)=R-{13}
