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 0.08 A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 3.13.1 soft drinks per week and found the variance to be 1.691.69. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval

Answer: 547

Step-by-step explanation: The margin of error formulae is given below as

Margin of error = critical value ×(σ/√n)

Where σ = standard deviation and n is the sample size.

From our question, margin of error = 0.08

Variance is 1.691,

hence σ = √variance = √1.691

= 1.3.

We will be using a z test for our critical value this is because a soft drink manufacturer will always produce drinks more than 30 in numbers.

The critical value for a 85% confidence interval is 1.44.

Hence critical value is 1.44.

By substituting the parameters, we have that

0.08 = 1.44 × 1.3/ √n

0.08 = 1.873/ √n

By cross multiplying

0.08 × √n = 1.873

√n = 1.873/ 0.08

√n = 23.41

n = (23.41)²

n = 547.

2 fractions have the same denominator. Which is the greater fraction: the fraction with the greater numerator or thr lesser nume
irinina [24]
If two fractions have the same denominator, that means the total number of parts is the same.  For example, you have two batches of cookies, which each have 8 cookies.

But the numerator tells you the number of parts you are dealing with.  Going back to our cookie example, say you ate 3 cookies and your little brother only had 1.  If you ate 3 cookies, you ate 3/8 of the cookies.  Your little brother ate 1/8 of the cookies.

So, which one is the greatest fraction?  In this case, who had more cookies?  That would be you.  So, the greater numerator means a greater fraction.

Answer: the fraction with the greater numerator

2) Which two statements are not true?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

A repeating decimal is not a rational number and The product of two irrational numbers is always rational

Step-by-step explanation:

One statement that is not true is "The product of two irrational numbers is always rational". Take for example the irrational numbers √2 and √3. Their product is √6 which is also irrational.

The other false statement is "A repeating decimal is not a rational number". Take for example the repeating decimal 0.33333..... It can be written as 1/3 which is a rational number.
