How many weeks of data must be randomly sampled to estimate the mean weekly sales of a new line of athletic footwear? We want 98

% confidence that the sample mean is within $400 of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be $1400.

Answer:

n=(\frac{2.33(1400)}{400})^2 =66.50 \approx 67

So the answer for this case would be n=67 rounded up

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\bar X represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean

\sigma=1400 represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =400 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 98% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And the critical value would be z_{\alpha/2}=2.33, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{2.33(1400)}{400})^2 =66.50 \approx 67

So the answer for this case would be n=67 rounded up

Leto [7]

Answer:

87.7 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC, attached.

The height of the building |AB|=443 meters

The distance of the agent across the street , |BC|=18 meters

We want to determine the angle at C.

Now,

Tan C=\dfrac{|AB|}{|BC|} \\C=arctan (\dfrac{|AB|}{|BC|} )\\=arctan (\dfrac{443}{18} )\\=87.67^\circ\\\approx 87.7^\circ $(correct to the nearest tenth)

The agent should sfoot his laser gun at an angle of 87.7 degrees.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The difference between the two weekly salaries is $122

Step-by-step explanation:

One job pays $64,600 per year. Since there are 52 weeks in a year, the weekly salary for this job is the quotient: $64600/52 = $1242.31 which rounded to the nearest dollar gives: $1242 per week

The other job pays $1120 per week. Therefore the difference in weekly salary for the two is:

$1242 - $1120 = $122
