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.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

So first things first

we need to find the measure of ∠ABD

If you didn´t know the sum of the triangle angles is 180

so to find ∠ABD we subtract the given angles ( 30 and 25) from 180

180-25-30=125

so angle ∠125

Now lets find ∠DBC

∠ABD and ∠ DBC are supplementary angles so the sum of the two angles is 180

So to find ∠DBC we subtract 125 from 180

180-125=55

so ∠DBC = 55

Now we can find the measure of ∠BDC

remember like stated before the sum of all of the angles in a triangle is 180

So to find the measure of ∠BDC we subtract the given angles from 180

180-90-55=35

so we could conclude that ∠BDC = 35

Other ways to solve for ∠DBC:

angle DBC is an exterior angle of ΔABD

the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

so basically ∠DBC = ∠ADB + ∠BAD

30+25=55 so ∠DBC = 55

Other ways to find angle BDC:

Having found the measure of ∠DBA and the other opposite angle we could find ∠BDC

Like stated before the measure of an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles

basically ∠DBA = ∠BDC + ∠BCA

we have the measures of ∠BCA and ∠DBA so we plug in the values

125=∠BDC+90

isolate the variable by subtracting each side by 90

125-90=35

we´re left with

∠BDC=35

I hope this helps and if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask! :)
