We wish to estimate the population mean of a variable that has standard deviation 70.5. We want to estimate it with an error no

greater than 5 units with probability 0.99. How big a sample should we take from the population? What happens if the standard deviation and the margin of error are both doubled?

Answer:

a) The large sample size 'n' = 1320.59

b) If the standard deviation and the margin of error are both doubled also the sample size is not changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Explanation:-</u>

<u>a)</u>

Given data the standard deviation of the population

σ = 70.5

Given the margin error = 5 units

We know that the estimate of the population mean is defined by

that is margin error = \frac{z_{\alpha } S.D }{\sqrt{n} }

            M.E = \frac{z_{\alpha } S.D }{\sqrt{n} }

cross multiplication , we get

M.E (\sqrt{n} ) = z_{\alpha } S.D

\sqrt{n}  = \frac{z_{\alpha } S.D }{M.E }

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.578 X 70.5}{5} }

√n = 36.34

squaring on both sides , we get

n = 1320.59

b) The margin error of the mean

   \sqrt{n}  = \frac{z_{\alpha } S.D }{M.E }

the standard deviation and the margin of error are both doubled

  √n = zₓ2σ/2M.E

  √n = 36.34

squaring on both sides , we get

     n = 1320.59

<u>If the standard deviation and the margin of error are both doubled also the sample size is not changed.</u>

Answer:

A. y = -3/2x + 1

B. y = -5/3x + 10

C. y = -x + 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

A. You just have to isolate the y so divide by 4: y = -3/2x + 1

B. 3y = -5x + 30

Divide by 3: y = -5/3x + 10

C. -5x + 6 = 5y

Divide by 5: -1x + 6/5 = y OR y = -x + 6/5

Keith_Richards [23]
So x is John's age.
We can solve this problem by working backwards.
Since it's 5 times his age, we first do 5x.
And then since it's five less, we move on to 5x - 5
And then we add the John's age is increased by 11: 5x - 5 = x + 11
I hope this helped :)

Hey there,

Question : <span>Determine the time needed to deliver 72 papers at a rate of 9 papers in 18 minuets

Answer : 
9 papers = 18 min
1 paper = 18 / 9
             = 2 min
72 papers = 2 x 72
                 = 144 mins

Hope this helps :))
