Answer
Given that the margin of error (E) = 5
population standard deviation (sd) = 29
z critical = 1.96 (using z table for 95%)
sample size n = ((z*sd)/E)^2
= ((1.96*29)/5)^2
= 11.368^2
= 129 (minimum whole number)

Executives of a supermarket chain are interested in the amount of time that customers spend in the stores during shopping trips. The mean shopping time, , spent by customers at the supermarkets has been reported to be 38 minutes, but executives hire a statistical consultant and ask her to determine whether it can be concluded that his greater than 38 minutes. To perform her statistical test, the consultant collects a random sample of shopping times at the supermarkets. She computes...

Suppose that a researcher is interested in estimating the mean systolic blood pressure, u, of executives of major corporations. He plans to use the blood pressures of a random sample of executives of major corporations to estimate u. Assuming that the standard deviation of the population of systolic blood pressures of executives of major corporations is 25 mm Hg, what is the minimum sample size needed for the researcher to be 90% confident that his estimate is within 3 mm...

In order to estimate the mean amount of time computer users spend on the internet each month, how many computer users must be surveyed in order to be 90% confident that your sample mean is within 15 minutes of the population mean? Assume that the standard deviation of the population of monthly time spent on the internet is 224 min. What is a major obstacle to getting a good estimate of the population mean? Use technology to find the estimated...

QUESTION 9 The shopping times of 69 randomly selected customers at a local supermarket were recorded. The average and variance of the 69 shopping times were 38 minutes and 255 squared minutes, respectively. Estimate the true average shopping time per customer, with a confidence level of 0.95. b) What is the right end point of this interval? Round to 4 decimals!

Many college graduates who are employed full-time have longer than 40-hour work weeks. Suppose that we wish to estimate the mean number of hours, u, worked per week by college graduates employed full-time. We'll choose a random sample of college graduates employed full- time and use the mean of this sample to estimate u. Assuming that the standard deviation of the number of hours worked by college graduates is 6.30 hours per week, what is the minimum sample size needed...
