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

Scale drawing of the electronics board
lora16 [44]

Area of the electronic board is 9000 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Write ratios to represent the unknown actual length and width of the display to the scale length and width of the display.

The Electronic board always seems like a rectangular shape

Length= scale÷Actual = 5/36 = 5×36 = 180cm

Length= scale÷Actual = 5/36 = 5×36 = 180cm

Width=scale÷Actual = 1/50 = 1×50 = 50cm

Width=scale÷Actual = 1/50 = 1×50 = 50cm

Area of Rectangle = legnth × width

                         = 180cm × 50cm = 9000 cm2

= 180cm  × 50cm = 9000 cm2

Area of the electronic board is 9000 cm2

the volume of a gas varies inversely as the pressure upon it. if the volume of the gas is 160 cubic centimeters at a pressure of
marin [14]
It was stated in the problem that a given volume of a is inversely proportional with the pressure of the system. It means that the as the volume increases, the pressure would decrease and as the volume decreases, the pressure would increase. We would express it as:

V α 1/P

To change it to an equality, we introduce a proportionality constant, k. We do as follows:

V = k/P

So, to determine what is asked, we need to first calculate for the value of k.

V = k/P
At V = 160 m^3 P = 108 cmHg
160 = k / (108)
k = 17280

Thus, at P = 87 cmHg 
V = 17280 / 87 
V = 198.62 m^3
