An experimenter would like to construct a 99% two-sided t-interval, with a length at almost 0.2 ohms, for the average resistance of a segment of copper cable of a certain length. if the experimenter feels that the standard deviation of such resistances is no larger than 0.15 ohms, what sample size would you recommend? assume that an appropriate t-value is 3.0.a. aprox 10b. aprox 20c. aprox 30d. aprox 40e. aprox 50

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size (variable of interest)

Confidence =99% or 0.99

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

And on this case we have that ME =0.2/2=0.1 ohms, since the lenght of the confidence interval is L=2ME and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (4) we got:

$n=(\frac{t_{\alpha/2} s}{ME})^2$ (2)

The critical value for 99% of confidence interval is provided, $t_{\alpha/2}=3.0$ , replacing into formula (2) we got:

$n=(\frac{3.0(0.15)}{0.1})^2 =20.25 \approx 21$

So the answer for this case would be n=21 rounded up to the nearest integer

And with the options provided the best answer is:

Answer from: Quest

first option

a function is a relation in which an input is paired with exactly one output.

so, let's find the right answer.

in our first option, our inputs are january, february, and march. the outputs are 30, 28, and 25. each input has it's own output. this is correct!

our second option we know is incorrect, because ms. valverade has two outputs, dogs and cats. this is not a function.

our third option is incorrect as well. the yellow square has two ouputs, the square and the triangle.

lastly, in our fourth option, we see the number 7 two times with a different output. therefore, this is not a function.

remember: each input must be paired with only one output!

Me? ! with this question which relationship is a function?
