Answer:

The answer is "2653".

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample \ Size = 99\% \ Cl\\\\ E =60  \\\\\sigma= 1200\\\\

Minimum sample size for Cl level = 99\% and Desired Margin of Error, E = 60 is:  

\to P(|\bar{x}-\mu| < E) \geq 1-\alpha \\\\\to P(\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

Margin \  Error = \frac{\text{length of the CI}}{2}\\\\\sigma=1200\\\\\alpha=1 - Confidence =1-0.99=0.01\\\\Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=z_{0.005}=2.58\\\\n\geq (\frac{z_{0.005} \times \sigma }{E})^2 \\\\= (\frac{2.58 \times 1200 }{60})^2\\\\=2662.560\\

The minimum n has to be integer, we take the ceiling Of above number and get n = 2663

The exact z-value.

n \geq (\frac{2.5758293035489 \times 1200}{60})^2 \\\\= 2653.95864

using critical value of 2,575, which gives 2652.25  

\to n =2653

Express in the form of p/q :<br><br> (i) 0.12▁3 (ii) 0. ▁621 (iii) 2.2▁18​
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

1)0.123( bar on 3)

Let X = 0.123 ( bar on 3)

Then X = 0.1233 --------(1)

Multiply equation (1) by 100 we get,

100X = 12.33 --------(2)

Again multiply equation (2) by 10 we get,

1000X = 123.33 -------(3)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (3) we get,

1000X = 123.33

100X = 12.33

____________

900X = 111

X = 111/900

Hence,

0.123 ( bar on 3) is in the form of 111/900 which is in the form of P/Q.
