Retail Merchandising A small computer store is making purchasing decisions for the upcoming year. To help decide which products to purchase, the owners looked at sales trends over the past year. The stacked bar graph (Graph III) shows the unit sales of desktop computers, laptop computers, and computer tablets over a 12-month period. Study the graph and answer questions 16 through 23 that follow.

A history teacher interviewed a random sample of 80 students about their preferences in learning activities outside of school and whether they are considering watching a historical movie at the cinema. 69 answered that they would like to go to the cinema. Let p represent the proportion of students who want to watch a historical movie. Determine the maximal margin of error. Use α = 0.05. Round your answer to three decimal places.
A random sample of medical files is used to estimate the proportion p of all people who have blood type B. If you have no preliminary estimate for p, how many medical files should you include in a random sample in order to be 99% sure that the point estimate will be within a distance of 0.07 from p? Round your answer to the next higher whole number.
A clinical study is designed to assess the average length of hospital stay of patients who underwent surgery. A preliminary study of a random sample of 70 surgery patients’ records showed that the standard deviation of the lengths of stay of all surgery patients is 7.5 days. How large should a sample to estimate the desired mean to within 1 day at 95% confidence? Round your answer to the whole number.

The CLT provides an approximate sampling distribution for the arithmetic average Ỹ of a random sample Y₁, . . ., Yn f(y). The parameters of the approximate sampling distribution depend on the mean and variance of the underlying random variables (i.e., the population mean and variance). The approximation can be written to emphasize this, using the expec- tation and variance of one of the random variables in the sample instead of the parameters μ, 02: YNEY, · (1 (EY,, varyi n For the following population distributions f, write the approximate distribution of the sample mean.

We'd like to know the first time when the population reaches 7000 people. First, graph the function from part (a) on your calculator or Desmos. In the same window, graph the line y = 7000. Notice that you will need to adjust your window so that you can see values as big as 7000! Investigate the intersection of the two graphs. (This video shows you how to find the intersection on your calculator, or in Desmos just hover the cursor over the point.) At what value t> 0 does the line intersect with your exponential function?
