Intellectual development (Perry) scores were determined for 21 students in a first-year, project-based design course. (Recall th

at a Perry score of 1 indicates the lowest level of intellectual development, and a Perry score of 5 indicates the highest level.) The average Perry score for the 21 students was 3.27 and the standard deviation was .40. Apply the confidence interval method of this section to estimate the true mean Perry score of all undergraduate engineering students with 99% confidence. Interpret the results.

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval is (3.0493, 3.4907).

We are 99% sure that the true mean of the students Perry score is in the above interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 21.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 21-1 = 20.

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level \alpha and divide by 2. So:

\frac{1-0.99}{2} = \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.005

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 20 and 0.005 in the two-sided t-distribution table, we have T = 2.528

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

s = \frac{0.40}{\sqrt{21}} = 0.0873

Now, we multiply T and s

M = 2.528*0.0873 = 0.2207

Then

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So:

L = 3.27 - 0.2207 = 3.0493

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So:

LCL = 3.27 + 0.2207 = 3.4907

The 99% confidence interval is (3.0493, 3.4907).

Interpretation:

We are 99% sure that the true mean of the students Perry score is in the above interval.

I need help with this problem I didn't really pay that much attention to this part of the subject.​
Flauer [41]

To check if a piecewise defined function is continuous, you need to check how the pieces "glue" together when you step from one domain to the other.

So, the question is: what happens at x=3? If you reach x=3 from values slightly smaller than 3, you obey the rule f(x)=log(3x). So, as you approach 3, you get values closer and closer to

\log(3\cdot 3)=\log(9)

Similarly, if you reach x=3 from values slightly greater than 3, you obey the rule f(x)=(4-x)log(9). So, as you approach 3, you get values closer and closer to

(4-3)\log(9)=\log(9)

So, the function is continuous at x=3, because both pieces approach log(9) as x approaches 3.

When 3/11 is written as a decimal, how many digits are in the smallest sequence of repeating digits?
Anna11 [10]
It's b, 2 
The reason is because 3/11=0.27 that repeats the 27 over again
