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

Joanne buys a car for $1500 after 12 months Joanne is forced to sell the car for 10% less than what she brought it for, how much
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

$1350

Step-by-step explanation:

Given she sold the car 10% less than what she bought it, amount she sold the car will be 10% of the amount she bought the car subtracted from the amount she bought he car .

She bought the car for $1500

Therefore,

10% of $1500

10% /100% x $1500

0.1 x $1500

$150

Now , amount she sold the car = $1500 - $150

= $1350

She sold the car for $1350
