For large sample confidence intervals about the mean you have:
xBar ± z * sx / sqrt(n)
where xBar is the sample mean z is the zscore for having α% of the data in the tails, i.e., P( |Z| > z) = α sx is the sample standard deviation n is the sample size
We need only to concern ourselves with the error term of the CI, In order to find the sample size needed for a confidence interval of a given size.
z * sx / sqrt(n) = width.
so the z-score for the confidence interval of .98 is the value of z such that 0.01 is in each tail of the distribution. z = 2.326348
The equation we need to solve is:
z * sx / sqrt(n) = width
n = (z * sx / width) ^ 2.
n = ( 2.326348 * 6 / 3 ) ^ 2
n = 21.64758
Since n must be integer valued we need to take the ceiling of this solution.
n = 22
Answer:
Dannon has 8 dimes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The center of the clock is taken as the origin.The clock is a circle with a diameter 10 units.Radius is half the diameter .Radius = 10 ÷2= 5 units.
The clock is divided in four quadrants .On x axis y=0 and on y axis x=0.
When it is 12 o'clock the hour hand is on positive of y axis.Coordinates of the point at 12 o'clock=(0,5)
When it is 3 o 'clock the hour hand is on positive of x axis .Coordinate of the point at 3o'clock is (5,0)
When it is 6 o'clock the hour hand is on negative of y axis .The coordinates of the point at 6o'clock is (0,-5)
At 9o'clock the hour hand is on negative of x axis .The coordinate of the point at 6o'clock is(-5,0)
