The correct answers are:
(1) If EXACT number is required, then 7.5.
(2) If multiple of 8 is required then the answer will be 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Explanation:
First you need to express it in the form of equation to make things simpler as follows:
8 * y = 60
We need to find y; to do so, divide 60 by 8:
y =
y = 7.5
Now if you want to find the whole number, then the answer will be 7 times, with 4 left over.
Answer: 208.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find the minimum sample size is given by :-
(1)
, where z* = critical z-value (two tailed).
= Standard deviation ( from prior study ) and E = Margin of error.
As per given , we have
Margin of error : E= 0.29
Confidence level = 85%
Significance level =
Using z-table , the critical value (two -tailed)=
As per previous study , Variance =
Now, the required minimum sample size = [Substitute the values in formula (1)]
[ Round to the next integer]
Hence, the minimum number of third graders that must be included in a sample = 208.
