Let the following sample of 8 observations be drawn from a normal population with unknown mean and standard deviation: 22, 18, 1

4, 25, 17, 28, 15, 21. Use Table 2.a. Calculate the sample mean and the sample standard deviation. (Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places, "sample mean" to 3 decimal places and "sample standard deviation" to 2 decimal places.) Sample mean Sample standard deviation b. Construct the 80% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round "t" value to 3 decimal places, and final answers to 2 decimal places.) Confidence interval to c. Construct the 90% confidence interval for the population mean. (Round "t" value to 3 decimal places, and final answers to 2 decimal places.) Confidence interval to d. What happens to the margin of error as the confidence level increases from 80% to 90%?As the confidence level increases, the interval becomes narrower.As the confidence level increases, the interval becomes wider.

Answer:

a:  Sample mean: 20, Sample standard deviation: 1.732

b:  19.13 <µ < 20.87

c:  18.84< µ < 21.16

d:  as the confidence level increases, the interval becomes wider

Step-by-step explanation:

a:  Sample mean is found by adding up all the individual values of the sample, then dividing by the total number of values in the sample.  

Sample standard deviation is the square root of the variance

See the first attached photo for the calculations of these values.

We need to create a 80% confidence interval for the population.  Since n < 30, we will use a t-value with degree of freedom of 7 (the degree of freedom is always one less than the sample size.  

Look for the column on the t-distribution chart that has "area in two tails" of 0.20 (80%), and row 7 (degree of freedom)

The t-value is 1.415

See the second attached photo for the construction of the confidence interval

We need to create a 90% confidence interval for the population.  Since n < 30, we will use a t-value with degree of freedom of 7 (the degree of freedom is always one less than the sample size.  

Look for the column on the t-distribution chart that has "area in two tails" of 0.10 (90%), and row 7 (degree of freedom)

The t-value is 1.895

See the third attached photo for the construction of the confidence interval

Pencils come in packages of 10.Erasers come in packages of 12. Phillips wants to purpose the smallest number of pencils and eras
balandron [24]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Packages of pencils = 6

Packages of erasers = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Pencils = 10/package

Erasers = 12 / package

Process

Find the least common factor of 10 and 12

                                    10     12     2

                                     5       6     2

                                     5       3     3

                                     5        1    5

                                      1

LCF = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60

Finally divide 60 by the number of pencils or erasers in each package

Packages of pencils = 60/10 = 6

Packages of erasers = 60/12 = 5

If an equation, Y varies directly as X varies. If Y equals 208 when X equals 13, what is the value of X when Y equals -144?
arlik [135]

Answer: X = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up a ratio to solve this.

208/13 = -144/x

208x=-1872

x = -9
