Answer:

The sample required is  n = 135

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  standard deviation is  \sigma = 9

      The margin of error is E =  2

     

Given that the confidence level is  99%  then the level of  significance is mathematically evaluated as

         \alpha =  100-99

        \alpha =  1 \%

        \alpha =  0.01

Next we will obtain the critical value  \frac{\alpha }{2} from the normal distribution table(reference  math dot armstrong dot edu) , the value is  

             Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  Z_{\frac{0.05 }{2} } =  2.58

The  sample size is mathematically represented as

          n = [ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sigma }{E} ]^2

substituting values

           n = [ \frac{ 2.58 *  9 }{2} ]^2

            n = 135

Vladimir [108]

<u>Question </u>

Select the three equations that this diagram could represent.

<u>                                                                                                                                     </u>

<u>Answer</u>

<em>Well, we first have to find out what the diagram says.</em>

<em>So what the diagram says is that  18 + 18 + 18 = 54.</em>

<em>Given this information,  we have to figure what other answers = 54.</em>

<em>Therefore the answers are </em>

(A) 18 * 3 = 54.

(D) 54/18 = 3

(E) 54/3 =18
