The weekly earnings of students in one age group are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 88 dollars. A researcher

wishes to estimate the mean weekly earnings of students in this age group. Find the sample size needed to assure with 98 percent confidence that the sample mean will not differ from the population mean by more than 2 dollars.

Answer:

The sample size needed is of 10,484.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.01

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a p-value of 1 - 0.01 = 0.99, so Z = 2.327.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The weekly earnings of students in one age group are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 88 dollars.

This means that \sigma = 88

Find the sample size needed to assure with 98 percent confidence that the sample mean will not differ from the population mean by more than 2 dollars.

This is n for which M = 2. So

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

2 = 2.327\frac{88}{\sqrt{n}}

2\sqrt{n} = 2.327*88

\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327*88}{2}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.327*88}{2})^2

n = 10483.3

Rounding up:

The sample size needed is of 10,484.

All these cases represent experiments whose outcomes are all equaly likely. What we mean is that the cards have all the same probability of being dealt (1/52), and all the spaces of the spinner have the same probability of being landed into (1/5).

These probabilities are computed as 1 over all the possible outcomes.

(a) If you want a heart card and a five, you want the 5 of hearts. So, only one card would satisfy your request, and thus you have probability 1/52 of dealing the 5 of hearts.

\dfrac{1}{52}\approx 0.019 = 1.9\%

(b) There are four 10s and four Jacks in the deck, so 8 cards satisfy your request. With probability 8/52, you'll be dealt a Jack or a 10.

\dfrac{8}{52}=\dfrac{2}{13}\approx 0.154 = 15.4\%

(c) You have two "good" outcomes out of 5, so your probability is 2/5.

\dfrac{2}{5}=0.4=40\%
