Use the given information to find the minimum sample size required to estimate an unknown population mean mu. How many students

must be randomly selected to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students at one college? We want 95% confidence that the sample mean is within $2 of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be $99.
A) 8296
B) 6630
C) 9413
D) 13,302

Answer:

9413

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Error = $2 ; Standard deviation (σ) =99 ; α = 95% = 0.95

Zα/2 = Z0. 05/2 = 1.96 (Z probability calculator)...

n = sample size

Recall:

n = ((Zα/2 * σ) / Error)^2

Using the formular above, the sample size n can be obtained ;

n = ((1.96 * 99) / 2)^2

n = 97.02^2

n = 9412.8804

n = 9413

Simplify (2√27) x (3√32)

Kryger [21]

For this case we have the following expression:

$(2 \sqrt {27}) (3 \sqrt {32})$

We have to:

$27: 3 * 3 * 3: 3 ^ 2 * 3\\32: 16 * 2: 4 ^ 2 * 2$

Rewriting the expression and simplifying we have:

$(2 \sqrt {3 ^ 2 * 3}) (3 \sqrt {4 ^ 2 * 2}) =\\(2 * 3 \sqrt {3}) (3 * 4 \sqrt {2}) =\\(6 \sqrt {3}) (12 \sqrt {2}) =\\72 \sqrt {3 * 2} =\\72 \sqrt {6}$

Answer:

$72 \sqrt {6}$

The outlier of a dataset is a data element that is relatively far from the remaining data elements

<em>99 is an outlier of pet group</em>
<em>See attachment for the parallel box plots</em>

<u>(a) Prove that 99 is an outlier for Pet</u>

We have:

<em>Pets: 58 64 65 68 69 69 69 70 70 72 76 79 85 86 99</em>

$n = 15$

The quartiles positions are:

$Q_1 = \frac{n + 1}{4}$

$Q_1 = \frac{15 + 1}{4}$

$Q_1 = \frac{16}{4}$

$Q_1 = 4th$

$Q_3 = Q_1 \times 3$

$Q_3 = 4th \times 3$

$Q_3 = 12th$

So, we have:

$Q_1 = 4th$

$Q_3 = 12th$

From the pet group:

The data elements at the 4th and 12th positions are 68 and 79

So, we have:

$Q_1 = 68$

$Q_3= 79$

The lower and upper limits of the outlier are:

$L = Q_1 - 1.5 \times (Q_3 - Q_1)$

$U = Q_3 + 1.5 \times (Q_3 - Q_1)$

So, we have:

$L = 68 - 1.5 \times (79 - 68)$

$L = 51.5$

$U = 79+ 1.5 \times (79 - 68)$

$U = 95.5$

This means that data below 51.5 or above 95.5 are outliers.

<em>Hence, 99 is an outlier because 99 is greater than 95.5</em>

<u>(b) The parallel box plot</u>

The three groups are:

<em>Pets: 58 64 65 68 69 69 69 70 70 72 76 79 85 86 99</em>

<em>Erlento: 88 80 80 81 92 87 88 81 82 80 87 92 87 80 82 </em>

<em>Alone: 62 70 73 75 77 80 84 84 84 87 87 87 90 91 99</em>
