Answer:
a) 
b) The should sample at least 293 small claims.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that to find our
level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of
.
So it is z with a pvalue of
, so
, which means that the answer of question a is z = 1.645.
Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which
is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.
(b) If the group wants their estimate to have a maximum error of $12, how many small claims should they sample?
They should sample at least n small claims, in which n is found when
. So







The should sample at least 293 small claims.
Find how many numbers are divisible by two and three, then place that number above the total number of items in the set as a fraction. Like this:
Hey there!!
Okay so here are the steps....
(5 + 2i) + (8 - 3i) <---- when we have exponents we should worry about the "i" because it is equal to √-1 but here it isn't the case.
<u>
(13 - i)</u><u /> <----- This is the answer!
