The error is line line 3. They did not probably square the numbers and only multiplied by two. Therefore line three should be 144+324=hypotenuse^2. Therefore line four should be 468 = hypotenuse^2. So the hypotenuse will be equal 6 square root of 13.

Line 3 is where the error begins. 12^2 is not equal to 24, it is equal to 144. Same for 18^2.

Answer:
468 = hypotenuse^2
Hypotenuse= square root of 468

A consumer group is interested in estimating the proportion of packages of ground beef sold at a particular store that have an a

storchak [24]

Answer: 267.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is no prior information for the population proportion, then the formula we use to find the sample size to estimate the confidence interval :

$n=0.25(\dfrac{z^*}{E})^2$ , where z* = Critical z-value and E + amrgin of error.

Let p = proportion of packages of ground beef sold at a particular store that have an actual fat content exceeding the fat content stated on the label.

Since , we have no prior information about p. so we use above formula

with E = 0.06 and critical value for 95% confidence =z* =1.96 [By z-table ] , we get

$n=0.25(\dfrac{1.96}{0.06})^2=0.25(32.6666)^2\\\\=(0.25)(1067.111111)\\\\=266.777777778\approx267$
