Ou are trying to estimate the average amount a family spends on food during a year. In the past, the standard deviation of the amount a family has spent on food during a year has been σ = $1200. If you want to be 99% sure that you have estimated average family food expenditures within $60, how many families do you need to survey? Place your answer, a whole number, do not use any decimals, in the blank___.

The answer is "2653".

Step-by-step explanation:

Minimum sample size for Cl level and Desired Margin of Error, is:  

The minimum n has to be integer, we take the ceiling Of above number and get n = 2663

The exact z-value.

using critical value of 2,575, which gives 2652.25  

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
