A fashion designer wants to know how many new dresses women buy each year. Assume a previous study found the standard deviation to be 1.8. She thinks the mean is 5.7 dresses per year. What is the minimum sample size required to ensure that the estimate has an error of at most 0.12 at the 85% level of confidence? Round your answer up to the next integer.

The sample size 'n' = 242

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given mean of the sample = 5.7

Given standard deviation of the sample (σ)  = 1.8

The Margin of error  (M.E) = 0.12

Level of significance = 0.85 or 85%

Step(ii):-

The margin of error is determined by

The critical value Z₀.₁₅ = 1.036

Cross multiplication , we get

√n  =  15.54

Squaring on both sides, we get

n = 241.49≅ 241.5≅242

Conclusion:-

The sample size 'n' = 242

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.

im pretty sure its

(8,15)
