Complete Question

From a random sample of size 18, a researcher states that (11.1, 15.7) inches is a 90% confidence interval for mu, the mean length of bass caught in a small lake. A normal distribution was assumed. Using the 90% confidence interval obtain:

a. A point estimate of $\mu$ and its 90% margin of error.

b. A 95% confidence interval for $\mu$ .

Answer:

a

$\= x = 13.4$ . $E = 2.3$

b

$10.7 < \mu < 16.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 18

The 90% confidence interval is (11.1, 15.7)

Generally the point estimate of $\mu$ is mathematically evaluated as

$\= x = \frac{11.1 + 15.7 }{2}$

=> $\= x = 13.4$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically evaluated as

$E = \frac{15.7 - 11.1}{2 }$

=> $E = 2.3$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 90% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 90 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.10$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645$

Generally the equation for the lower limit of the confidence interval is

$\= x - Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{s}{\sqrt{18} } = 11.1$

=> $13.4 - 0.3877 s = 11.1$

=> $s = 5.932$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $E = 1.96 * \frac{5.932}{\sqrt{18} }$

=> $E = 2.7$

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\= x -E < \mu < \=x +E$

=> $13.4 - 2.7 < \mu < 13.4 + 2.7$

=> $10.7 < \mu < 16.1$

Can someone help me find the area of the following figure

ExtremeBDS [4]

1. The area of the full rectangle is 21 * 28 = 588. We will need this later.

Like you drew, there is an imaginary triangle missing. We can find the dimensions of it by subtracting from the given information. The shorter leg of it is 21 - 12 = 9, the longer leg is 28 - 14 = 14.

Now we find the area of the triangle. Area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. So 1/2 * 9 * 14 = 1/2 * 126 = 63.

Now we do the full area of 588 minus the area of the missing triangle piece.

588 - 63 = 525 ft²

2. Do the area of the rectangle and then this time add on the area of the triangle. 7 * 15 = 105. Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 2 * 7 = 1/2 * 14 = 7.

105 + 7 = 112 in²
