Let n =  required random sample size.

Assume that the population standard deviation is known as σ.
Let m =  sample mean.
At the 95% confidence level, the expected range is
(m - k(σ/√n), m + k(σ/√n))
where k = 1.96.

Therefore the error margin is 1.96(σ/√n).
Because the error margin is specified as 3% or 0.03, therefore
(1.96σ)/√n = 0.03
√n = (1.96σ)/0.03
n = 128.05σ²

This means that the sample size is about 128 times the population variance.

Answer:
Smallest sample size = 128.05σ², where σ = population standard deviation.

Answer:

The answer is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

you subtract common numbers, so:

5s - 3s = 2s

Then,

-6 + 2 = -4

You would then get

2s - 4

divide -4 by 2 which is -2

and your answer is s = -2
