Answer:

2,655 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score for a 99% confidence interval is z = 2.576

The standard error for a proportion p is:

SE = z*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }

For a proportion of p =0.20, in order to ensure a standard error of 0.02, the sample size 'n' must be:

0.02 = 2.576*\sqrt{\frac{0.2*(1-0.2)}{n}}\\n=2,654.31

Rounding up to the next whole student, the sample size needed is 2,655 students.

If it took you (one person) 3 days to build a doghouse, then it should take 2 people to build it in half the time. So all we have to do is split 3 days in 2. 

3/2 = 1.5 
So it would take 1 1/2 days or 36 hours for 2 people to complete the doghouse.

Hillary earns $60 per week at her job, plus $2 for each item she sells. She wants to
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

60+2x≥300

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that she makes a base of $60 a week and gets $2 extra for every item she sells. First, we set up an equation for how many items she would have to sell to make exactly $300 in a week. 60+2x=300. Now, all we do is replace the equal sign with a ≥ sign because it says at least which means more than or equal to.
