An advertising agency that serves a major radio station wants to estimate the mean amount of time the station’s audience members

listen to the radio on a daily basis. From past studies the population standard deviation is known to equal 45 minutes. What sample size is needed if the agency wants to be 90% confident of being within (±) 5 minutes of the true mean amount of time audience members listen to the radio per day?

Answer:

The margin of error for the true mean is :

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

n=(\frac{1.645(45)}{5})^2 \\\\=219.18\\\\ \approx 220

Therefore, the answer for this case would be n = 220

Step-by-step explanation:

Population standard deviation is 45

Margin of error is 5

|Z(0.05)|=1.645 (check standard normal table)

The margin of error for the true mean is :

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

n=(\frac{1.645(45)}{5})^2 \\\\=219.18\\\\ \approx 220

Therefore, the answer for this case would be n = 220

Answer:

n=(\frac{1.645(45)}{5})^2 =219.18 \approx 220

So the answer for this case would be n=220 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

\sigma = 45 represent the population deviation

ME = 5 represent the margin of error

The margin of error for the true mean is given by this formula:

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

And on this case we have that ME =5 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (4) we got:

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

The critical value for 90% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance level is \alpha=1-0.9=0.1 and the critical value would be z_{\alpha/2}=1.645, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{1.645(45)}{5})^2 =219.18 \approx 220

So the answer for this case would be n=220 rounded up to the nearest integer

Which of the following equations has no solution?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

B. 3x+5−4x=−(x+8)

Explanation:

3x+5−4x=−(x+8)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x+5−4x=−(x+8)

3x+5+−4x=−x+−8

(3x+−4x)+(5)=−x−8

−x+5=−x−8

−x+5=−x−8

Step 2: Add x to both sides.

−x+5+x=−x−8+x

5=−8

Step 3: Subtract 5 from both sides.

5−5=−8−5

0=−13

So, there is no solution

Hope this Helps!
