The standard deviation for actuary salaries has a standard deviation of $36,730 . You collect a simple random sample of n=36 sal

aries and find that x bar = $111,000 . Use this information for both parts. Part 1: What is the lower limit of this 95% confidence interval? (Round to the nearest whole number)

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is of $99,002.

<h3>What is a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • z is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • \sigma is the standard deviation for the population.

In this problem, we have a 95% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.95, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.95}{2} = 0.975, so the critical value is z = 1.96.

The other parameters are given as follows:

\overline{x} = 111000, \sigma = 36730, n = 36

Hence, the lower bound of the interval is:

\overline{x} - z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = 111000 - 1.96\frac{36730}{\sqrt{36}} = 99002

The lower limit of the 95% confidence interval is of $99,002.

The volume of a gas "V" varies inversely with the pressure "P" put on it. If the volume is 360cm³ under a pressure of 20 kgcm2
Sav [38]

Answer:

15 Kg cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that V varies inversely with P then the equation relating them is

V = \frac{k}{P} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition

V = 360, P = 20, then

360 = \frac{k}{20} ( multiply both sides by 20 )

k = 7200

V = \frac{7200}{P} ← equation of variation

When V = 480, then

480 = \frac{7200}{P} ( multiply both sides by P )

480P = 7200 ( divide both sides by 480 )

P = 15

If a jug is 1/5 full and weighs 250g and 4/5 full and weighs 550g how much does the jug weigh empty
Alika [10]
1/5 full =250g
4/5 full =550g
550g-250g=300g=3/5 without jug
1/5 without jug=300g/3=100g
250g-100g=150g

<u>The jug weighs 150g empty</u>
