The population standard deviation for the total snowfalls per year in a city is 13 inches. If we want to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within 3 inches of the true population mean, what is the minimum sample size that should be taken

The minimum sample size that should be taken is 72.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .

So it is z with a pvalue of , so

Now, find M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

If we want to be 95% confident that the sample mean is within 3 inches of the true population mean, what is the minimum sample size that should be taken

This is n when M = 3. So

The minimum sample size that should be taken is 72.

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
