Answer:

n=(\frac{1.960(0.18)}{0.03})^2 =138.30

So the answer for this case would be n=139 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following info given:

\bar X = 5.5 the sample mean

s = 0.18 the standard deviation

The margin of error is given by this formula:

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

And on this case we have that ME =0.03 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (b) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} s}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 95% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution and if we look in the normal standard distirbution we got z_{\alpha/2}=1.96, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{1.960(0.18)}{0.03})^2 =138.30

So the answer for this case would be n=139 rounded up to the nearest integer

What is the answer????
iogann1982 [59]
The winner of an election is voted for by the majority of people. If there are two things being voted for, veggie pizza and chicken, and pizza earns 36% of the vote, then chicken must earn 64% of the vote because 36 and 64 add to 100.

Therefore, the chicken would win the election and be on the lunch menu.
