Explanation / Answer

3.

Please post 1 question per post. Write back in case you have doubts.

The Z value for 99% confidence is 2.56.

99% confident wiht 15 minutes of average. Stdev = 30 min

So, Margin of error <= Z*sigma/sqrt(n)

Reshuffling, and therefore signs will change:

15 > 2.56*30/sqrt(n)

n>(2.56*30/15)^2

n>26.21,

therefore n = 27

D. is correct
