. Suppose that we want to estimate the true proportion of defectives in a very large shipment of adobe bricks, and that we want to be at least 95% confident that the error is at most 0.04. How large a sample will we need if:

A sample of 601 bricks will be needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of , and a confidence level of , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of .

The margin of error is:

95% confidence level

So , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of , so .

How large a sample will we need?

A sample of n bricks will be needed.

n is found when M = 0.04.

We have no estimate for the proportion of defective bricks, so we work with the worst case scenario, which is

Rounding up

A sample of 601 bricks will be needed.

the correct is answer is a 9-sided polygon!

3 3 6, because in every triangle the longer side is always shorter than the sum of the other two
