Answer:
We need at least 243 stores.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of
.
The margin of error of the interval is:

For this problem, we have that:

95% confidence level
So
, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
Determine the number of stores that must be sampled in order to estimate the true proportion to within 0.04 with 95% confidence using the large-sample method.
We need at least n stores.
n is found when M = 0.04. So






Rounding up
We need at least 243 stores.
Answer:
7 is the Anwser
Step-by-step explanation:
The first book you select can be any one of 700.
. . . For each of those ...
The second book can be any one of the other 699.
. . . For each of those ...
The third book can be any one of the remining 698.
The total number of ways to gather three books from the shelves into your hands is (700 · 699 · 698) = <em>341,531,400 ways</em> .
<em>BUT ...</em>
When you bring three books to the check-out counter, Marian the Librarian doesn't know in which order you took them down off the shelves. You could have gathered the same three books in (3 · 2 · 1) = 6 different ways.
So, even though there are 341,531,400 ways to<em> </em>gather up three books, there are only (341,531,400 / 6) = 56,921,900 different GROUPS of three books that you can choose to take home.
