Answer:

31-19=12°F

12°F

Step-by-step explanation

If it was 19 degrees on Monday and 31 degrees on Tuesday you have to see how much did it go up in temp. So..

the difference between 19 and 31 is 12, so that means it went up by 12°F.

Answer:

$3.15-1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.003$

$3.15+ 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}=3.297$

So on this case the 80% confidence interval would be given by (3.003;3.297)

And the margin of error is given by:

$ME = 1.28\frac{0.38}{\sqrt{11}}= 0.147$

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".

$\bar X=3.15$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=0.38$ represent the population standard deviation

n=11 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 0.80 or 80%, the value of $\alpha=0.2$ and $\alpha/2 =0.1$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NOR.INV(0.1,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.28$
