A95% confidence interval for the mean of a population is to be constructed and must be accurate to within 0.3 unit. a preliminary sample standard deviation is 3.8. the smallest sample size n that provides the desired accuracy is

Sample size should be atleast 617

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a 95% confidence interval for the mean of a population is to be constructed and must be accurate to within 0.3 unit.

i.e. margin of error <0.3

Std devition sample = 3.8

For 95% assuming sample size large we can use z critical value

Z critical = 1.96

we have

Sample size should be atleast 617 to get an accurate margin of error 0.3

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.
