Answer:

The number of sleeping bags bought is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let "x" be the number of the sleeping bags that were bought, we can make the following equation....

(5x)(12) + (x)(45) = 1785

By solving the equation we get....

(5x)(12) + (x)(45) = 1785

60x + 45x = 1785

105x = 1785

x = 1785 / 105

x = 17

There for the number of sleeping bags bough is 17.

A researcher wants to estimate the percentage of all adults that have used the Internet to seek pre-purchase information in the

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The required sample size for the new study is 801.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

25% of all adults had used the Internet for such a purpose

This means that $\pi = 0.25$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

What is the required sample size for the new study?

This is n for which M = 0.03. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75)}{n}}$

$0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03})^2$

$n = 800.3$

Rounding up:

The required sample size for the new study is 801.
