She is going to 5 classes 3×5 = 15 and 15÷3=5
For large sample confidence intervals about the mean you have:
xBar ± z * sx / sqrt(n)
where xBar is the sample mean z is the zscore for having α% of the data in the tails, i.e., P( |Z| > z) = α sx is the sample standard deviation n is the sample size
We need only to concern ourselves with the error term of the CI, In order to find the sample size needed for a confidence interval of a given size.
z * sx / sqrt(n) = width.
so the z-score for the confidence interval of .98 is the value of z such that 0.01 is in each tail of the distribution. z = 2.326348
The equation we need to solve is:
z * sx / sqrt(n) = width
n = (z * sx / width) ^ 2.
n = ( 2.326348 * 6 / 3 ) ^ 2
n = 21.64758
Since n must be integer valued we need to take the ceiling of this solution.
n = 22
The first quartile of the data set is 28 because it is the median of the lower set.
A trapezoid is isosceles if and only if
(1) The base angles are congruent
(2) The diagonals are congruent
(3) The opposite angles are supplementary
So the description does not guarantee that a trapezoid is isoceles for "Congruent bases".
