Credit card balances follow a nearly normal distribution with a mean of $2,900 and a standard deviation of $860. A local credit union believes their customers are carrying an above average credit card balance, so they carry out a study to determine their customers' debt. If the study results in a standard error of $43, what sample size was used in the study

A sample size of 400 was used in the study.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean and standard deviation , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean and standard deviation(standard error) .

In this problem, we have that:

We have to find n.

A sample size of 400 was used in the study.

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
