Answer:

93% confidence interval for the mean number of days of sick leave is [10.39 days , 14.01 days].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the firm's statistician randomly selects 100 personnel files and notes the number of sick days taken by each employee. The sample mean is 12.2 days and the sample standard deviation is 10 days.

Assume the population standard deviation is 10.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 93% confidence interval for the population mean is given by;

                          P.Q. = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean = 12.2 days

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 10 days

            n = sample of files = 100

            \mu = population mean

<em>Here for constructing 93% confidence interval we have used One-sample z  test statistics because we know about population standard deviation.</em>

So, 93% confidence interval for the population mean, \mu is ;

P(-1.8121 < N(0,1) < 1.8121) = 0.93  {As the critical value of z at 3.5%

                                           level of significance are -1.8121 & 1.8121}  

P(-1.8121 < \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < 1.8121) = 0.93

P( -1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X -\mu} < 1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.93

P( \bar X-1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.93

<u>93% confidence interval for </u>\mu = [ \bar X-1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X +1.8121 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                       = [ 12.2-1.8121 \times {\frac{10}{\sqrt{100} } } , 12.2+1.8121 \times {\frac{10}{\sqrt{100} } } ]

                                       = [10.39 days , 14.01 days]

Therefore, 93% confidence interval for the mean number of days of sick leave is [10.39 days , 14.01 days].

A 6-pound watermelon costs $2.40 before a 30% discount. Which equation would allow you to find the discounted price of the water
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Price after discount = 2.4 (1-.3)

Price after discount = 2.4 (.7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the cost after the discount.

Price after discount = original price - original price * discount rate

Factoring out the original price

Price after discount = original price (1- discount rate)

We know the discount rate = .3 and the original price is 2.4

Price after discount = 2.4 (1-.3)

Price after discount = 2.4 (.7)

Price after discount = 1.68

____ [38]

Answer:

Check Explanation and the attached image.

Step-by-step explanation:

The histogram of the set of data presented is presented in the attached image to.this solution

The histogram represents data by indicating the frequency of distribution on the y-axis and the sets of variables indicated on the x-axis.

With the constellations named numbers 0 to 6, the frequency of each constellation, that is, the number of stars in each constellation corresponds to the height of the bar representing each constellation.

Hope this Helps!!!
