A soft drink manufacturer wishes to know how many soft drinks adults drink each week. They want to construct a 85% confidence interval with an error of no more than 0.08. A consultant has informed them that a previous study found the mean to be 3.1 soft drinks per week and found the variance to be 1.69. What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval

Ответ:
So the answer for this case would be n=548 rounded up to the nearest integer
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
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".
n represent the sample size
Solution to the problem
The margin of error is given by this formula:
And on this case we have that ME =0.08 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:
The critical value for 85% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. And in excel we can use this formla to find it:"=-NORM.INV(0.075;0;1)", and we got
, replacing into formula (b) we got:
So the answer for this case would be n=548 rounded up to the nearest integer
Ответ:
see below. The solution is the doubly-shaded area.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each boundary line will be dashed, because the "or equal to" case is not included. Each shaded area will be above the corresponding boundary line because the comparison symbol is y > .... That is, only y-values greater than (above) those in the boundary line are part of the solution.
Of course, the boundary lines are graphed in the usual way. Each crosses the y-axis at the value of the constant in its equation. Each has a slope (rise/run) that is the value of the x-coefficient in the equation.
