The population standard deviation for the height of college basketball players is 2.9 inches. If we want to estimate a 99% confidence interval for the population mean height of these players with a 0.45 margin of error, how many randomly selected players must be surveyed

276

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Standard deviation (σ) = 2.9 inches

Error margin (E) = 0.45

Confidence interval = 99%

Using the relation to obtain the sample size (n)

n = [(Zcrit * σ) / E]²

Zcritical at 99% confidence interval = 2.576

n = [(2.576 * 2.9) / 0.45]²

n = [7.4704 / 0.45]²

n = 16.600888^2

n = 275.58951

n = 276 samples

Sample size

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75

the value of x is 28.2
