A fast food restaurant executive wishes to know how many fast food meals adults eat each week. They want to construct a 85% conf

idence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 5.6 fast food meals per week and found the standard deviation to be 1.3. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval? Round your answer up to the next integer.

Answer:

The sample size must be 548 to have a margin of error of no more than 0.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample mean = 5.6

Standard deviation = 1.3

Significance level = 15%

Margin of error = 0.08

We have to estimate the sample size.

Margin of error =

z_{critical}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.15} = 1.44

Putting values, we get

0.08 = 1.44\times \dfrac{1.3}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\sqrt{n} = 1.44\dfrac{\times 1.3}{0.08}\\\\\sqrt{n} = 23.4\\n =547.56\approx 548

Thus, the sample size must be 548 to have a margin of error of no more than 0.08.

The hypotenuse of the right triangle is 5y inches long. The lengths of the legs are x + 8 and x + 3 inches. If the perimeter of
Zolol [24]

Answer: 35 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

hypotenuse = 5*y in

cathetus 1 = (x + 8) in

cathetus 2 = (x + 3) in

The perimeter of the triangle is 76 inches, then:

5*y + (x + 8) + (x + 3) = 76

5*y + 2*x + 13 = 76

We also know that the length of the hypotenuse minus the length of the shorter leg is 17 in.

The shorter leg is x + 3, then:

5*y - (x + 3) = 17

Then we have the equations:

5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76

5*y - (x + 3) = 17

With only these two we can solve the system, first we need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, i will isolate x in the second equation.

x = 5*y  - 3 - 17 = 5*y - 20

x = 5*y - 20

Now we can replace this in the other equation, we get:

5*y + 2*x + 11 = 76

5*y + 2*(5*y - 20) + 11 = 76

15*y - 40 + 13 = 76

15*y - 29 = 76

15*y = 76 + 29 = 105

and remember that the hypotenuse is equal to 5*y, then we want to get:

3*(5*y) = 105

5*y = 105/3 = 35

5*y = 35

Then te length of the hypotenuse is 35 inches.
