Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2÷1 = -2

4÷(-2) = -2

Answer: Sample size would be 296.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Standard deviation = 4.8 hours

Margin of error = 0.65 hours

At 98% level of confidence, z = 2.33

So, It becomes,

$0.65=z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\0.65=2.33\times \dfrac{4.8}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\dfrac{2.33\times 4.8}{0.65}=\sqrt{n}\\\\n=(\dfrac{11.184}{0.65})^2\\\\n=17.206^2\\\\n=296.051$

Hence, sample size would be 296.
