Question 3:
The FDA regulates that fresh Albacore tuna fish that is consumed is allowed to contain 0.82 ppm of mercury or less. A laboratory is estimating the amount of mercury in tuna fish for a new company and needs to have a margin of error within 0.023 ppm of mercury with 97% confidence. Assume the population standard deviation is 0.143 ppm of mercury. What sample size is needed? Round up to the nearest integer, do not include any decimals. Answer: ___183

Estimate the absolute standard deviation (or uncertainty) for the results of the following calculations. Round each result so that it contains only significant digits. The numbers in parentheses are absolute standard deviations. Show your solution and express the final answer and its corresponding uncertainty. a) y= 2.998(±0.002) - 3.98 (±0.15) + 9.035 (±0.002) = 8.0531
