The drying times for a certain type of cement are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 30 minutes. a researcher wishes to estimate the mean drying time for this type of cement. find the sample size needed to assure with 68.26% confidence that the sample mean will not differ from the population mean by more than 5 minutes.

a. 31
b. 26
c. 29
d. 38
e. 30
f. 27
g. 32
h. 36

h. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

For a 68.26% confidence, z = 1.0.

Standard deviation (s) = 30 minutes

The sample size needed to assure that the sample mean does not differ from the true mean by more than 5 minutes is given by:

The sample size needed is 36.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be =.

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

.

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be =.

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be

1 x=22.52

2: 65/39=604+39x

65x-39x=604

26x=604

x=604/26
