For 1. To estimate how many sports cards Alberto had, you would round each number to the nearest ten, so 318 would become 320. 273 would then become 270. You would then add those two and would get 590. So, Alberto had 590 sports cards (estimated). If you were looking for the actual answer (not estimated) , you would get 591.

Elza [17]

Answer:

107

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that after a ham is cured it may be smoked to add flavor or to ensure it lasts longer.

Let X be the smoking time . Then X is N(mu, 8)

a) The sample is drawn at random

b) The sample represents the population

c) Sample size is sufficient to represent the population

b)For 99% conf interval z critical is taken since population std dev is given

Z critical = 2.58

Hence confi interval = $(\mu+/- 2.58*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \\=(\mu +/- 2.58\frac{8}{6} )\\= (\mu -3.44, \mu+3.44)$

c) As sample sizes are large and samples are randomly drawn, we can be 99% confident that sample mean falls within this interval

d) If margin of error is only 2, then we must have

$2.58*\frac{8}{\sqrt{n} } =2\\10.32=\sqrt{n} \\n=106.50\\n~107$
