Answer:

n = 195

Step-by-step explanation:

What sample size is necessary such that a 98% confidence interval for the mean, using σ = 3, has a width of pm±0.5?

We solve using Margin of error formula

= z × Standard deviation/√n

Margin of error = ± 0.5

Standard deviation = 3

n = ??

z = 2.326

Hence,

±0.5 = 2.326 × 3/√n

Cross Multiply

±0.5 × √n = 6.978

√n = 6.978/±0.5

√n = ±13.956

Square both sides

n = (±13.956)²

n = 194.769936

Approximately = 195 samples

In-s [12.5K]
14,500/258 is 56.2015504 blah blah blah. You can't have a fifth of a uniform. I would interpret it as they have a little money left over, but they can't buy another uniform.

So your answer is 56 uniforms.

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

11 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Carter invested $ 16,000 in an account paying an interest rate of 5.6% compounded monthly, to determine, assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, how long would it take, to the nearest year, for the value of the account to reach $ 29,600, the following calculation must be performed:

16,000 x (1 + 0.056 / 12) ^ Yx12 = 29,600

Y = 11

16,000 x 1.4666 ^ 132 = X

29,581.70 = X

Thus, rounded to the nearest year, it would take 11 years for the account to reach $ 29,600.
