Answer:

The sample size is  n = 1043

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The lower bound of the range is a = 51

  The upper bound of the range is b =  710

    The margin of error is E = 10

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

       \sigma =  \frac{b- a}{4}

=>    \sigma =  \frac{710 - 51 }{4}

=>    \sigma = 164.75

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

      \alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.05

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  1.96

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

    n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sigma }{E} ] ^2

=> n = [ 1.96  *  164.75 }{10} ] ^2

=> n = 1043

Jeff drinks 2/3 of a glass of juice. write a fraction that is equivalent to 2/3
frutty [35]
Some fractions that are equivalent to 2/3 are 4/6 and 6/9
to find equivalent fractions, you just have to reduce the fraction or multiply both the top and bottom numbers by the same number to increase the fraction.
2/3 is as reduced as it can be, though.
