Answer:
609
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard deviation =
= $30
Margin of error = E = $2
Confidence level = 90%
Since the distribution is said to be normal, we will use z scores to solve this problem.
The z score for 90% confidence level = z = 1.645
Sample size= n = ?
The formula to calculate the margin of error is:

Using the values in above equation, we get:

This means, the minimum number of observations required is 609
4x^2-5x=-1
4x^2-5x+1=0
4x+2.24x=1
6.24x=1
x= 0.16025641025641025641025641025641
So in 1 hour, the parachutist will fall 12 miles or
12 mi/1hour
convert
1 hour=60 mins
1 min=60 seconds
1 hour=60 times 60 seconds=360 seconds
12 miles per 360 seconds
convert miles to feet
5280 feet per mile
12 miles times 5280=63360 feet
63360/360
do the math and simplify
63360/360=6336/36=176
176 feet per second
