Mika is a local farmer who is interested in how often residents in her town go to a farmer's market each month. She surveys 124 families and finds that, on average, those families visit a farmers' market 4.2 times per month with a sample standard deviation of 1.3. If Mika wants to be 99% confident (z=2.58) using this sample, what should her margin of error be and what does it mean?

The margin of error is of 0.3012, and it means that we should be 99% confident that the population mean would be within 0.3012 of the sample mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error

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

Standard deviation of 1.3

This means that

She surveys 124 families

This means that

Margin of error and meaning:

The margin of error is of 0.3012, and it means that we should be 99% confident that the population mean would be within 0.3012 of the sample mean.

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.
