A market researcher analyzing the fast-food industry noticed the following: The historical average amount spent at an upscale re

staurant was $150.30, with a standard deviation of $50. The researcher wishes to have a sampling error of $5 or less and be 95 percent confident of an estimate to be made about average amount spent at an upscale restaurant from a survey. What sample size should be used (round the number up)

Answer:

A sample size of 385 should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

What sample size should be used (round the number up)

A sample of n should be used.

n is found when M = 5.

We have that \sigma = 50

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

5 = 1.96\frac{50}{\sqrt{n}}

5\sqrt{n} = 1.96*50

Simplifying by 10

\sqrt{n} = 1.96*10

\sqrt{n} = 19.6

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (19.6)^2

n = 384.16

Rounding up

A sample size of 385 should be used.

7. Nick’s youth group has 20 regular students that attend weekly get togethers. They saved up enough money for each person to go
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

If each youth saves $10 daily, their weekly savings would be $1400. So they donated $1400 to the church.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the daily pay plan for each youth be $y

Daily pay plan for 20 youth = $20y

Weekly pay plan = 7×20y = $140y

Assuming each youth saves $10 daily

Daily savings for 20 youth = 20×$10= $200

Weekly savings for 20 youth = 7×$200= $1400

If they used the early pay plan ($140y) to go swimming, they saved $1400 which they donated to the church.
