Answer:

<em>The size of the sample 'n' = 2401</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step:1</em></u>

Given that the margin of error = 2 % = 0.02

The margin of error is determined by

              M.E = \frac{Z_{0.05} \sqrt{p(1-p)} }{\sqrt{n} }

we know that the proportion

               \sqrt{p(1-p)} < \frac{1}{2}

<u><em>Step:2</em></u>

<em>The margin of error is determined by </em>

<em>               </em>0.02 = \frac{1.96( \frac{1}{2} ) }{\sqrt{n} }<em></em>

              \sqrt{n} =  \frac{1.96}{2 X 0.02}

              √n  = 49

Squaring on both sides, we get

                n = 49 × 49

                n = 2401

<u>Final answer:-</u>

<em>The size of the sample 'n' = 2401 </em>

The soccer team is conducting a fundraiser selling long-sleeved t-shirts for $14 and short-sleeved t-shirts for $10. So far the
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number of long-sleeved shirts and each of these cost $14, then the expression for that is 14x; likewise for short-sleeved shirts that are represented by y. The expression for short-sleeved shirts that cost $10 apiece is 10y. Putting that together with the fact that they earned less than $200 when selling these at the same time, the inequality is

14x + 10y < 200
