An oil company is interested in estimating the true proportion of female truck drivers based in five southern states. A statistician hired by the oil company must determine the sample size needed in order to make the estimate accurate to within 2% of the true proportion with 99% confidence. What is the minimum number of truck drivers that the statistician should sample in these southern states in order to achieve the desired accuracy?

n = 2401

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Confidence level = 2% - 99%

n = ? ( which is the sample size is unknown ).

Solution:

Where;

n = [z/E]^2*pq

Since no known value for ( p ) estimate is given, the "least biased" estimate is p = 1/2

Substituting the given data into the formula.

n = [1.96/0.02]^2(1/2)(1/2)

n = 2401

The minimum number of truck drivers the statistician needs to sample for an accurate result is 2401

6 purchases

if you are asking how many of each then:

18 social media ads

6 newspaper ads

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
