The confidence interval would be (10.44, 12.16).  This means that if we take repeated samples, the true mean lies in 90% of these intervals.

To find the confidence interval, we use:
\overline{x} \pm z*(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

We first find the z-value associated with this.  To do this:
Convert 90% to a decimal:  90% = 90/100 = 0.9
Subtract from 1:  1-0.9 = 0.1
Divide by 2:  0.1/2 = 0.05
Subtract from 1:  1-0.05 = 0.95

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is directly between two z-scores, 1.64 and 1.65; we will use 1.645:

11.3 \pm 1.645*(\frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1002}})
\\
\\11.3 \pm 0.86
\\(11.3-0.86, 11.3+0.86)
\\(10.44, 12.16)

A student said that since -9 is less than 4, then |-9| is less than |4|. Is the student correct? Explain why or why not.
IRISSAK [1]
No, that is not true. The absolute value is the distance a number is from zero. The distance of -9 to 0 is 9. 9 is not less than 4.

If a is directly proportional to b/2 and a=1 when b=10, what is the value of a when b=35
iris [78.8K]
The value of a would be 3.5, as a=1 when b=10 means that a is worth 1/10 of b's value.
