Answer:
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (122;138)
And the correct interpretation for this case is:
c. If the procedure were repeated many times, 95% of the resulting confidence intervals would contain the population mean systolic blood pressure.
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 % where by 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".
Solution to the problem
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
(1)
In order to calculate the critical value we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:
Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of and
, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,24)".And we see that
Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1), for this case we got:
The 95% confidence interval would be given by (122;138)
And the correct interpretation for this case is:
c. If the procedure were repeated many times, 95% of the resulting confidence intervals would contain the population mean systolic blood pressure.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that we have in total 18 items. Even though we are given information regarding the amounts of items per type, the general question asks the total number of ways in which you can pick 5 out of the 18 objects, without any restriction on the type of chosen items. Therefore, the information regarding the type is unnecessary to solve the problem.
Recall that given n elements, the different ways of choosing k elements out of n is given by the binomial coefficient .
Therefore, in this case the total number of ways is just
