How many women must be randomly selected to estimate the mean weight of women in one age group. We want 90% confidence that the sample mean is within 3.7 lb of the population mean, and the population standard deviation is known to be 28 lb.

the required sample size = 155

Step-by-step explanation:

If the standard deviation of the prior study is known, then the formula to compute required sample size:

, where E = Margin of error, z* = Critical value, =  populion standard deviation.

Given: E = 3.7 ,

Critical value for 90% confidence = 1.645

Required sample size:

Hence, the required sample size = 155

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
