A cam goer wanted to estimate the average price of sleeping bags in a resort area he normaly visits. He collected prices (in $)

of a random sample 20 sleeping bags from shops in this area. The data is given below. Assume that the population of prices of sleeping bags in this resort area has an approximately normal distribution.95, 120, 40, 120, 115, 65, 30, 25, 100, 110, 105,100, 105, 95, 110, 120, 95, 90, 70, 100Use software (or your calculator) to find the mean (x bar) and standard deviation (s) of the prices of the above sample. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)a. x = $[a]b. s = $[b] Using the given data as representative of the population of prices of all sleeping bags, find a 99% confidence interval for the mean price μ of all sleeping bags. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)c. lower limit = $[c] d. upper limit = $[d]

Answer

• a) $90.50

,

• b) $29.29

,

• c) $73.63

,

• d) $107.37

Explanation

Given the data, we can calculate the mean and standard deviation using a software.

• a)

That software will use the following formula for the mean:

\bar{x}=\frac{sum\text{ of all observations}}{total\text{ number of observations}}

In our case, we have 20 observations, meaning:

\bar{x}=\frac{95+120+40+...+90+70+100}{20}=90.5

• b)

Similarly, for the standard deviation <em>s</em> the formula is:

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_^(x-\bar{x})}{n-1}}

where x represents each observation.

Then, using the software we would get:

s\approx29.29

Finally, the confidence interval (CI) can be calculated using the following formula:

CI=\bar{x}\pm Z\times\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Replacing the data we get:

CI=90.5\pm2.5758\times\frac{29.29}{\sqrt{20}}\approx90.5\pm16.87

Meaning that the upper limit will be:

90.5+16.87=107.37

While the lower will be:

90.5-16.87=73.63

What is 3/10 ÷5/10 ?
olasank [31]
The answer is 30/50 look below:
KCF keep change flip
so keep the first one the way it is
change the sign to multiplication from division
filp the 2nd fraction into a improper fraction
than multiply
so...
 3*10=30
10*5=50
so...
your answer is 30/50 or 3/5 that is in simplest form

Hope this helped

One rectangle has a base of 12 inches and an altitude of 6 inches. The other has a base of 10 inches and an altitude of 5 inches
guajiro [1.7K]

Ratio of their bases = $\frac{12}{10}

Ratio of their altitudes = $\frac{6}{5}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

For first rectangle, it was given that

Base 1 = 12 inches

Altitude 1 = 6 inches

For the second rectangle, it was given that

Base 2 = 10 inches

Altitude 2 = 5 inches

Ratio of their bases is given by the ratio of the base of the first rectangle to the second one.

Ratio of their altitudes is given by the ratio of the altitude of the first rectangle to the altitude of the second rectangle.

Ratio of their bases = $\frac{12}{10}

Ratio of their altitudes = $\frac{6}{5}

What is 700,000 + 9,000 + 7 in standard form
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

709,007

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the place values.

In 700, 000, the thousands column is in the third digit. Therefore add nine to that place.

In 700, 000 the ones column is the last digit. So add 7 to that place.
