A group of statistics students decided to conduct a survey at their university to find the average (mean) amount of time students spent studying per week. Assuming a population standard deviation of three hours, what is the required sample size if the error should be less than a half hour with a 99% level of confidence?

240

Formula:

n = [(z-value * sd)/E]^2

where n = sample size,

z-value will be 2.58 using a z-table to represent the 99% confidence interval

sd(standard deviation) = 3

E = 0.5

Substituting the parameters into the formula n = [(z-value * sd)/E]^2, we have,

n = [(2.58 ×3) ÷ 0.5]²

n = 239.63 approximately 240.

the invasive species was introduced due to commercial purpouses, as there was a demand for fur clothes and hence, a business opportunity connected to this product. actually, it was when the nutrias scaped, causing harm to the us ecosystems when they acquired the status of invasive species. in this case they have caused an environmental problem, but it could have affected also economic interests or even human health.
