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

X+y= -9<br> x+2y= -25<br><br> According to the system of equations above, what is the value of y?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Try this option:
if x+y=-9 is I (one)
and x+2y=-25 is II (two), then
if II-I, then (x+2y)-(x+y)=-25+9 ⇔ y=-16.

a computer and printer a totoal cost $1132 the cost of the computer is three times the cost of the ptinter
zavuch27 [327]
Use a system of equations

C+P=1132
3P=C

Substitute C in first equation as
3P+P=1132
Simplify
4P=1132
Solve
P=1132/4
P=283

NOW SOLVE FOR C SUBSTITUTING P VALUE IN FIRST EQUATION

C+283=1132
C=1132-283
C=849


Printer = 283$
Computer = 849$
