An environmental science teacher at a high school with a large population of students wanted to estimate the proportion of stude

nts at the school who regularly recycle plastic bottles. The teacher selected a random sample of students at the school to survey. Each selected student went into the teacher’s office, one at a time, and was asked to respond yes or no to the following question.
Do you regularly recycle plastic bottles?

Based on the responses, a 95 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all students at the school who would respond yes to the question was calculated as (0.584, 0.816)

How many students were in the sample selected by the environmental science teacher?

Answer:

60 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval of a proportion is given by:

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

Where 'p' is the proportion of students who responded 'yes', 'z' is the z-score for a 95% confidence interval (which is known to be 1.960), and 'n' is the number of students in the sample.

If the confidence interval is from 0.584 to 0.816, then:

p=\frac{0.584+0.816}{2}=0.7 \\0.816-0.584=2*(1.96*\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}) \\0.116=1.96*\sqrt{\frac{0.7*(1-0.7)}{n}}\\n=16.8966^2*(0.7*0.3)\\n=60\ students

60 students were in the sample.

A furniture store received an order for 3,456 chairs. they can fit 9 chairs in a large shipping box. how many shipping boxes wil
kykrilka [37]
This is simple :)
If 9 chairs can fit in one box, and you have 3,456 chairs, just divide how many chairs you have by how many can fit in the box in order to find how many boxes you will need.

3,456/9 = 384
384 boxes will be needed
