Answer: 11, 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
There were a total of 41 national battlefields and national memorials
Suppose there are national battlefields
So, national memorials are
The sum of the two must be 41
So, there are 11 national battlefields and national memorials.
Part A
Given info:
Because n > 30 is not true, and we don't know the population standard deviation (sigma), this means we must use a T distribution.
The degrees of freedom here are n-1 = 23-1 = 22.
At 90% confidence and the degrees of freedom mentioned, the t critical value is roughly t = 1.717
Use a T distribution table or calculator to determine this. If you don't have a calculator for the task, then you can search out "inverse T calculator" and there are tons of free options to pick from.
The margin of error E is
E = t*s/sqrt(n)
E = 1.717*1.12/sqrt(23)
E = 0.400982
This is approximate and accurate to 6 decimal places.
The confidence interval is going to be xbar plus or minus that E value
L = lower bound = xbar - E = 4.90 - 0.400982 = 4.499018 = 4.50
U = upper bound = xbar + E = 4.90 + 0.400982 = 5.300982 = 5.30
The confidence interval in the format of (L, U) is (4.50, 5.30)
You could also express it as the format L < mu < U and it would be 4.50 < mu < 5.30; however, I'll stick to the first method.
<h3>Answer: (4.50, 5.30)</h3>=====================================================
Part B
Since we know sigma = 2.6 is the population standard deviation, we can use a Z distribution now.
At 90% confidence, the z critical value is roughly 1.645; use a table or calculator to determine this.
Round this up to the nearest integer to get 20326. For min sample size problems, <u>always</u> round up.
<h3>Answer: 20326</h3>
