Answer:

a. The sample size is approximately 97 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The number of adults surveyed, n = 174

The lowest value of the pulse rate = 39 bpm

The highest value of the pulse rate = 111 bpm

The level of confidence used for determining the sample size = 90%

The given sample mean = 3 pm of the population mean

a. The range rule of thumb states that the standard deviation is approximately one quarter (1/4) of the range

The range = 111 bpm - 39 bpm = 72 bpm

Therefore, the standard deviation, σ = 72 bpm/4 = 18 bpm

The sample size, 'N', is given as follows;

N = \dfrac{z^2 \cdot p \cdot q}{e^2}

Where;

N = The sample size

z = The confidence level, 90% (z-score at 90% = 1.645)

p·q = σ² = 18² = 324

e² = 3² = 9

N = \dfrac{1.645^2  \times 324}{3^2} = 97.4169

Therefore the appropriate sample size, N ≈ 97 adults.

Need help ASAP fine the value of x. Round to the nearest tenth x=
White raven [17]

Answer:

x = 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we use the sine rule

For the sine rule,

the ratio of the sides to the sine of the angle facing the side is equal for all the sides of the triangle

Thus,

x/sin 34 = 11/ sin 27

x = 11 sin 34/sin 27

x = 13.5
