The U.S. Energy Information Administration (US EIA) reported that the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline is $3.94 (U

S EIA website, April 6, 2012). The US EIA updates its estimates of average gas prices on a weekly basis. Assume the standard deviation is $.25 for the price of a gallon of regular gasoline and recommend the appropriate sample size for the US EIA to use if they wish to report each of the following margins of error at 95% confidence. a. The desired margin of error is $.10. b. The desired margin of error is $.07. c. The desired margin of error is $.05.

Answer:

a) 25

b) 49

c) 97

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size is calculated using the formula, n = (\frac{\sigma\times z}{\textup{Margin of error}})^2

Now,

for 95% confidence level value of z-factor = 1.96

Given:

Mean = $3.94

standard deviation = $0.25

thus,

a) for margin of error = $0.10

n = (\frac{\sigma\times z}{\textup{Margin of error}})^2

or

n = (\frac{0.25\times1.96}{\textup{0.10}})^2

or

n = 4.9²

or

n = 24.01 ≈ 25               (Rounded off to next integer)

b) for margin of error = $0.07

n = (\frac{\sigma\times z}{\textup{Margin of error}})^2

or

n = (\frac{0.25\times1.96}{\textup{0.07}})^2

or

n = 7²

or

n = 49

c) for margin of error = $0.05

n = (\frac{\sigma\times z}{\textup{Margin of error}})^2

or

n = (\frac{0.25\times1.96}{\textup{0.05}})^2

or

n = 9.8²

or

n = 96.04 ≈ 97               (Rounded off to next integer)

<h3>Answer: 2</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The function f(x) = -4x+1 is the same as y = -4x+1 where y = f(x)

Compare this to y = mx+b and we see the slope here is m = -4

---------

Now let's find the slope of g(x)

use the slope formula with any two rows you want. I'll pick on the last two rows.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (21-9)/(3-1)

m = 12/2

m = 6 is the slope of g(x)

---------

From here, we add the two slope values

(slope of f)+(slope of g) = -4+6 = 2

A prediction from a line graph is
timurjin [86]
“Line graphs are useful in that they show data variables and trends very clearly and can help to make predictions about the results of data not yet recorded. They can also be used to display several dependent variables against one independent variable.”

“With a line graph, it is fairly easy to make predictions because line graphs show changes over a period of time. You can look at past performance in a line graph and make a prediction about future performance.”
