Suppose that scores on the mathematics part of the national assessment of educational progress (naep) test for eighth-grade students follow a normal distribution with standard deviation σ = 110 . you want to estimate the mean score within ± 10 with 90 % confidence. how large an srs of scores must you choose? give your answer as a whole number.

A sample size of at least 328 students 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 Ztable as such z has a pvalue of .

So it is z with a pvalue of , so

Now, find the width M as such

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

In this problem, we have that:

So:

A sample size of at least 328 students is required.

828. all there is to it!

here, if you ever need with rounding (or other forms of arithmetic/math) again, use this:

thats the rounding one, but if you just click the top left, it shows you all the calculators you may need!

hope it

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)
