Find the 95% confidence interval for estimating the population mean μ

Mathematics

AVprozaik [17]1 year ago
8 0

We first need to determine whether we are dealing with means or proportions in this problem. Since we are given the sample and population mean, we know that we are dealing with means.

Since we have one sample mean, this means we are creating a confidence interval for one sample (1 Samp T Int).

Normally we would check for conditions, but since this is not formulated as a "real-world scenario" type problem, it is hard to check for randomness and independence. Therefore, I will be excluding conditions from this answer.

<h3>Confidence Interval Formula</h3>

The formula for constructing a <u>confidence interval for means</u> is as follows:

  • \displaystyle \overline{x} \pm t^*\big{(}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } \big{)}

We are given these variables:

  • \overline{x}=50
  • n=60
  • \sigma=10

Plug these values into the formula for the confidence interval:

  • \displaystyle 50\pm t^* \big{(}\frac{10}{\sqrt{60} } \big{)}

<h3>Finding the Critical Value (t*)</h3>

In order to find t*, we can use this formula:

  • \displaystyle \frac{1-C}{2}=A

Calculating the z-score associated with "A" will give us t*.

So, let's plug in the confidence interval 95% (.95) into the formula:

  • \displaystyle \frac{1-.95}{2}=.025

Use your calculator or a t-table to find the z-score associated with this area under the curve.. you should get:

  • t^*=1.96

<h3>Constructing Confidence Interval</h3>

Now, let's finish the confidence interval we created:

  • \displaystyle 50\pm 1.96 \big{(}\frac{10}{\sqrt{60} } \big{)}

We can calculate the confidence interval, using this formula, to be:

  • \boxed{(47.4697, \ 52.5303)}

<h3>Interpreting the Confidence Interval</h3>

We are 95% confident that the true population mean μ lies between <u>47.4697 and 52.5303</u>.

The shortest side of an isosceles triangle is 2x - 3 inches long. the longer sides are 6 inches longer than the shortest side. t
Zolol [24]
Side 1 = short side = 2x-3
side 2 = longer side = (short side) + 6 = (2x-3)+6 = 2x+3
side 3 = side 2 = 2x+3

Side 2 and side 3 are the longer two congruent sides

Add up the three sides and set them equal to the given perimeter of 33. Solve for x

(side1)+(side2)+(side3) = perimeter
(2x-3)+(2x+3)+(2x+3) = 33
(2x+2x+2x) + (-3+3+3) = 33
6x+3 = 33
6x+3-3 = 33-3
6x = 30
6x/6 = 30/6
x = 5

If x = 5, then the longer sides are 2*x+3 = 2*5+3 = 10+3 = 13 inches each
(note: the short side is 2*x-3=2*5-3=10-3 = 7 inches)

Answer: 13 inches

Show all work to multiply (6+square root -64)(3-square root -16)
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

- 8i = √-64

8i + 6

- -4i = -√-16

-4i + 3

[8i + 6][-4i + 3] → FOIL

>> -32i² + [24i - 24i] + 18

↑ ↑

-1 0

>>> 32 + 18 = 50

Information on Imaginary Numbers

√-1 = i

-1 = i²

-i = i³

1 = i⁴ [And every other exponent that is a multiple of 4; this cycle then repeats itself every time you go up one number at a time]
