Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
p = 0.68
margin of error, E = 0.1
99% confident interval
alpha, α = 1 - 0.99
= 0.01
∴ (z-critical value)
Sample size =
= 144.37
= 145 (rounded off)
Therefore, there are 145 businesses does she need to sample to meet this criteria.
"-y (less than or greater than sign) 136" translates into two separate inequalities:
-y < 136 and -y > 136.
You want to solve for y in each case. To do this, multiply each inequality by "-1" and then immediately change the direction of the inequality sign.
For example: -1(-y < 136) => y > -136.
There's not much you can or should do here other than to "solve for d."
Subtract 22 from both sides. Then 22 - 22 - 28d = -12 - 22 = -34
Then -28d = -34, and d = -28 / (-34) = + 14/17 (answer)
