Atoy manufacturer wants to know how many new toys children buy each year. assume a previous study found the standard deviation to be 1.5. she thinks the mean is 6.9 toys per year. what is the minimum sample size required to ensure that the estimate has an error of at most 0.11 at the 80% level of confidence? round your answer up to the next integer.

306

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size n in Simple Random Sampling is given by

where  

z = 1.2816 is the critical value for a 80% confidence level (*)

s = 1.5 is the estimated population standard deviation

e = 0.11 points is the margin of error

so  

rounded up to the nearest integer.

(*)This is a point z such that the area under the Normal curve N(0,1) inside the interval [-z, z] equals 80% = 0.8

It can be obtained in Excel or OpenOffice Calc with

NORMSINV(0.9)

answer: the 4 kilogram bag

step-by-step explanation: this is because if you divide the number of kilograms into the total it will tell you how much each individual kilogram would be worth. 2 kilos is 7 and change 3 would be around 6 ish and the 4 kilo would be 4.6 and change and the 5 kilos would be like 4.88

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3
