Customers arrive at a movie theater at the advertised movie time only to find that they have to sit through several previews and

prepreview ads before the movie starts. Many complain that the time devoted to previews is too long. A preliminary sample conducted by The Wall Street Journal showed that the standard deviation of the amount of time devoted to previews was 4 minutes. Use that as a planning value for the standard deviation in answering the following questions. Round your answer to next whole number

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Customers arrive at a movie theater at the advertised movie time only to find that they have to sit through several previews and preview ads before the movie starts. Many complain that the time devoted to previews is too long (The Wall Street Journal, October 12, 2012). A preliminary sample conducted by The Wall Street Journal showed that the standard deviation of the amount of time devoted to previews was 4 minutes. Use that as a planning value for the standard deviation in answering the following questions. Round your answer to next whole number,

a) If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 75 seconds, what sample size should be used? Assume 95% confidence.

b) If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 1 minute, what sample size should be used? Assume 95% confidence.

Answer:

a) the required Sample Size is 40

b) the required Sample Size is 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

standard deviation σ = 4 minutes

a)

margin of error E = 75 seconds = ( 75 / 60 )minutes = 1.25 minutes

And 95% confidence.

Now, Critical Value of z for 0.95 confidence interval;

∝ = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Z_{\alpha /2 = 1.96

so, sample size n will be;

n = [ Z_{\alpha /2 × σ/E ]²

we substitute;

n = [ 1.96 × (4/1.25) ]²

n =  [ 1.96 × 3.2 ]²

n = [ 6.272 ]²

n = 39.338

Since we referring to a number of sample, its approximately becomes 40

Therefore, the required Sample Size is 40

b)

margin of error E = 1 minutes

And 95% confidence.

Now, Critical Value of z for 0.95 confidence interval;

∝ = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

Z_{\alpha /2 = 1.96

so, sample size n will be;

n = [ Z_{\alpha /2 × σ/E ]²

we substitute;

n = [ 1.96 × (4/1) ]²

n =  [ 1.96 × 4 ]²

n = [ 7.84 ]²

n = 61.466

Since we referring to a number of sample, its approximately becomes 62

Therefore, the required Sample Size is 62

given that A=43 degrees , B=82 degrees and c=28, solve triangle ABC. Round to the nearest hundredth. A) C= 93 degrees , b= 33.8
n200080 [17]
A=43°
B=82°
c=28

1) A+B+C=180°
Replacing A=43° and B=82° in the equation above:
43°+82°+C=180°
125°+C=180°
Solving for C. Subtracting 125° both sides of the equation:
125°+C-125°=180°-125°
C=55° (option B or C)

2) Law of sines
a/sin A=b/sin B=c/sin C
Replacing A=43°, B=82°, C=55°, and c=28 in the equation above:
a/sin 43°=b/sin 82°=28/sin 55°

2.1) a/sin 43°=28/sin 55°
Solving for a. Multiplying both sides of the equation by sin 43°:
sin 43°(a/sin 43°)=sin 43°(28/sin 55°)
a=28 sin 43° / sin 55°
Using the calculator: sin 43°=0.681998360, sin 55°=0.819152044
a=28(0.681998360)/0.819152044
a=23.31185549
Rounded to one decimal place
a=23.3

 2.2) b/sin 82°=28/sin 55°
Solving for a. Multiplying both sides of the equation by sin 82°:
sin 82°(b/sin 82°)=sin 82°(28/sin 55°)
b=28 sin 82° / sin 55°
Using the calculator: sin 82°=0.990268069, sin 55°=0.819152044
b=28(0.990268069)/0.819152044
b=33.84903466
Rounded to one decimal place
b=33.8

Answer: Option B) C=55°, b=33.8, a=23.3

The answer would be 14/15

Find a common denominator that both of the fractions can use. An easy way to do this is simply multiply the denominators together. So for 3/5 you would multiply by 3 to get the fraction 9/15 and then multiply 1/3 by 5 to get 5/15. Add both 9/15 and 5/15 to then get 14/15.
