We have a sample of 28 data points. The sample mean is 30.0 and the sample standard deviation is 2.40. The confidence level required is 98%. Then, we calculate α by:

\begin{gathered} 1-\alpha=0.98 \\ \alpha=0.02 \end{gathered}

The confidence interval for the population mean, given the sample mean μ and the sample standard deviation σ, can be calculated as:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack x-Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}},x+Z_{1-\frac{\alpha}{2}}\cdot\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt[]{n}}\rbrack

Where n is the sample size, and Z is the z-score for 1 - α/2. Using the known values:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack30.0-Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}},30.0+Z_{0.99}\cdot\frac{2.40}{\sqrt[]{28}}\rbrack

Where (from tables):

Z_{0.99}=2.33

Finally, the interval at 98% confidence level is:

CI(\mu)=\lbrack28.94,31.06\rbrack

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Mean - 89

Median - 90.5

Mode - 89 or 92

Q1 - 84.5

Q3 - 96.5

IQR - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A mean is an average. Just add all numbers then divide by how many numbers there are.

A median is a middle. Just arrange the numbers from smallest to largest and locate the middle value.

A mode is the number that appears most often. Count how many of each number there is.

Q1 is the middle of the lower half of the data.

Q3 is the middle of the upper half of the data.

IQR is the difference between Q3 and Q1. (subtract)

A 30 Oz box of Lucky Charms cost $4.50 a 20 oz box cost $3.60 what is the unit price of each box
notka56 [123]

We need to find the unit price of each box.

So, a box that weighs 30 Oz costs $4.50.

lets say that 30 Oz box is named box 1. We can use unitary method to find out the unit price of box 1.

Unitary method is a process to find the value of a single unit.

Now,

30 Oz costs $4.50

therefore, 1 Oz should cost:

\frac{4.50}{30} =0.15 dollars

So, the unit price of box 1 is $0.15.

Now, lets say the 20 Oz box is named box 2. Again we can use unitary method to find out the unit price of box 2.

Now,

20 Oz box costs $3.60

therefore, 1 Oz should cost:

\frac{3.60}{20} =0.18 dollars

So, the unit price of box 2 is $0.18.

The community college fine arts department sold three kinds of tickets to its latest dance presentation. The adult tickets sold
lana [24]

Answer:adult=75

Students = 200

Children=75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= adult tickets, y=students, z=child

x+y+z =350

Since x=z

y+2z= 350 -----------1

20x +12y + 10z = 4650

Since y=z

12y +30z = 4650 --------2

Using elimination method to solve eqn 1&2

Multiply eqn 1 by 12

12y + 24z = 4200

12y +30z = 4650

Subtract equ 2 from 1

-6z =-450

z=75, x = 75

y=350 -(75+75)

y= 200 tickets
