Answer:
The 95% confidence interval is

Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The first sample size is 
The first sample mean is
The first standard deviation is 
The second sample size is 
The second sample mean is 
The second standard deviation is 
Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as
![df = \frac{ [ \frac{s_1^2 }{n_1 } + \frac{s_2^2 }{n_2} ]^2 }{ \frac{1}{(n_1 - 1 )} [ \frac{s_1^2}{n_1} ]^2 + \frac{1}{(n_2 - 1 )} [ \frac{s_2^2}{n_2} ]^2 }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=df%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%20%5B%20%5Cfrac%7Bs_1%5E2%20%7D%7Bn_1%20%7D%20%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7Bs_2%5E2%20%7D%7Bn_2%7D%20%5D%5E2%20%7D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%28n_1%20-%201%20%29%7D%20%5B%20%5Cfrac%7Bs_1%5E2%7D%7Bn_1%7D%20%5D%5E2%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%28n_2%20-%201%20%29%7D%20%5B%20%5Cfrac%7Bs_2%5E2%7D%7Bn_2%7D%20%5D%5E2%20%20%7D)
=> ![df = \frac{ [ \frac{5.9^2 }{34 } + \frac{4.4^2 }{34} ]^2 }{ \frac{1}{(34 - 1 )} [ \frac{5.9^2}{34} ]^2 + \frac{1}{(34- 1 )} [ \frac{4.4^2}{ 34} ]^2 }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=df%20%3D%20%20%5Cfrac%7B%20%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B5.9%5E2%20%7D%7B34%20%7D%20%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B4.4%5E2%20%7D%7B34%7D%20%5D%5E2%20%7D%7B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%2834%20-%201%20%29%7D%20%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B5.9%5E2%7D%7B34%7D%20%5D%5E2%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%2834-%201%20%29%7D%20%5B%20%5Cfrac%7B4.4%5E2%7D%7B%2034%7D%20%5D%5E2%20%20%7D)
=> 
Generally the standard error is mathematically represented as

=> 
=> 
From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

=> 
Generally from the t distribution table the critical value of at a degree of freedom of is

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

=> 
=> 
Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

=> 
=> 
Answer: 271.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the prior population proportion of success is not available, then the formula to find the sample size is given by :-

Given : Significance level : 
By using the standard normal distribution table ,
Critical value : 
Margin of error : 
Then , the required minimum sample size will be :-

Hence, the required minimum sample size is 271.
Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
36-16 = 20
20*2=40
Lets check - half comic books - 40/2= 20 + 16 more = 36
Your answer would definitely be the 3rd answer choice.
