Given the dimensions of locker box are length = 6 feet, width = 4 feet, and height = 10 feet.
Wayne wants to cover the box, so we need to find its total surface area. The box is in the shape of rectangular prism.
We know the formula for total surface area of rectangular prism is given as follows :-
T.S.A. = 2·(6 x 4 + 4 x 10 + 10 x 6) = 2·(24 + 40 + 60) = 2·(124) = 248 feet²
Surface Area = 248 squared feet
To cover the locker with waterproof covering, we needed to find the surface area of the box. As we multiplied two dimensions at a time in the formula, so the units are "squared feet".
Hence, option A is correct i.e. squared feet or ft².
Answer:
1) the planning value for the population standard deviation is 10,000
2)
a) Margin of error E = 500, n = 1536.64 ≈ 1537
b) Margin of error E = 200, n = 9604
c) Margin of error E = 100, n = 38416
3)
As we can see, sample size corresponding to margin of error of $100 is too large and may not be feasible.
Hence, I will not recommend trying to obtain the $100 margin of error in the present case.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data in the question;
1) Planning Value for the population standard deviation will be;
⇒ ( 50,000 - 10,000 ) / 4
= 40,000 / 4
σ = 10,000
Hence, the planning value for the population standard deviation is 10,000
2) how large a sample should be taken if the desired margin of error is;
we know that, n = [ ( × σ ) / E ]²
given that confidence level = 95%, so = 1.96
Now,
a) Margin of error E = 500
n = [ ( × σ ) / E ]²
n = [ ( 1.96 × 10000 ) / 500 ]²
n = [ 19600 / 500 ]²
n = 1536.64 ≈ 1537
b) Margin of error E = 200
n = [ ( × σ ) / E ]²
n = [ ( 1.96 × 10000 ) / 200 ]²
n = [ 19600 / 200 ]²
n = 9604
c) Margin of error E = 100
n = [ ( × σ ) / E ]²
n = [ ( 1.96 × 10000 ) / 100 ]²
n = [ 19600 / 100 ]²
n = 38416
3) Would you recommend trying to obtain the $100 margin of error?
As we can see, sample size corresponding to margin of error of $100 is too large and may not be feasible.
Hence, I will not recommend trying to obtain the $100 margin of error in the present case.
