The percentage of body fat of a random sample of 36 men aged 20 to 29 found a sample mean of 14.42. Find a 95% confidence interv

al for the mean percentage body fat of all men aged 20 to 29. Assume that percentages of body fat follow a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 6.95.

Answer:

14.42-1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=12.150    

14.42+ 1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=16.690    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (12.150;16.690)    

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=14.42 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=6.95 represent the population standard deviation

n=36 represent the sample size  

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

14.42-1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=12.150    

14.42+ 1.96\frac{6.95}{\sqrt{36}}=16.690    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (12.150;16.690)

The function h is given by h ( t ) = ( 1 − t ) ( 8 + 16 t ) models the height of a ball in feet, t seconds after it is thrown.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

  • zeros: t = 1, t = -1/2
  • no: the domain of the function is t ≥ 0
  • 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The zeros are the values of t that make the factors zero.

  1 -t = 0   ⇒   t = 1

  8 +16t = 0   ⇒   t = -8/16 = -1/2

The equation is used to model height after the ball is thrown. We don't expect it to be a good model before the ball is thrown (t < 0), so the zero in that region is extraneous.

Only the positive zero is in the function's domain, so that is the only one that is meaningful.

__

When t = 0 (at the time the ball is thrown), the function value is ...

  h(0) = (1 -0)(8 +0) = 8

The ball is thrown from a height of 8 feet.
