4)In order to set rates, an insurance company is trying to estimate the number of sick daysthat full time workers at an auto repair shop take per year. A previous study indicated thatthe standard deviation was2.2 days. a) How large a sample must be selected if thecompany wants to be 92% confident that the true mean differs from the sample mean by nomore than 1 day

A sample of 18 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of .

That is z with a pvalue of , so Z = 1.88.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

In which is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A previous study indicated that the standard deviation was 2.2 days.

This means that

How large a sample must be selected if the company wants to be 92% confident that the true mean differs from the sample mean by no more than 1 day?

This is n for which M = 1. So

Rounding up:

A sample of 18 is required.
