We have IQ test scores of 31 seventh-grade girls in a Midwest school district. We have calculated that sample mean is 105.84 and

the standard deviation is 14.27.
Give a 99% confidence interval for the average score in the population. What is the margin of error?

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the average score in the population is between 99.24 and 112.44.

The margin of error is 6.60.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

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

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 2.575*\frac{14.27}{\sqrt{31}} = 6.60

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 105.84 - 6.60 = 99.24

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 105.84 + 6.60 = 112.44

The 99% confidence interval for the average score in the population is between 99.24 and 112.44.

56-4= 52    (56 pages minus the 4 she already took).

52/2= 26    (52 pages divided by 2 pages per class)

The ratio of boys to girls in a school is 5:8.If the number of girls exceeds the number of boys by 144, calculate the total numb
True [87]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

624 students

Since they’re only 3 parts more girls then boys and the number equals 144, you just have to divide 144 by 3. You’ll get 48

Multiply 5 and 8 by 48 to get 240 and 384 and add to get 624 which is the answer
