A survey was conducted that asked 1003 1003 people how many books they had read in the past year. results indicated that x overb

ar x equals = 10.5 10.5 books and s equals = 16.6 16.6 books. construct a 99 99​% confidence interval for the mean number of books people read. interpret the interval.

The confidence interval is

10.5\pm1.35 = (9.15, 11.85).  This means that we can be 99% confident that the mean number of books people read lies between 9.15 and 11.85.

To find the confidence interval, we first find the z-score associated with it:

Convert 99% to a decimal:  0.99
Subtract from 1:  1-0.99=0.01
Divide by 2:  0.01/2 = 0.005
Subtract from 1:  1-0.005 = 0.995

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is associated with a z-score between 2.57 and 2.58.  Since both are equally far from this value we will use 2.575.

We calculate the margin of error using

ME=z*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}
\\
\\=2.575*\frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1003}}=1.35

This means that the confidence interval is
10.5\pm1.35

The lower limit is given by 10.5-1.35 = 9.15.
The upper limit is given by 10.5+1.35 = 11.85

In a game of luck, a turn consists of a player rolling 7 six-sided dice and counting how many of the dice
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: Binomial

Step-by-step explanation:

1 / 3

A binomial setting has a set number of trials, and the variable in question is the number of

successes that occur in those trials.

A geometric setting does not have a set number of trials, and the variable in question is the

number of trials it takes to get the first success.

In both settings, the trials are independent and the probability of success remains the same on

each trial.

2/3

In this game, the player rolls 7 dice, and F is the number of dice that show a 5. So the variable is

counting the number of successes

The rolls are independent, and the probability of getting a 5 is the same on each roll,

3/3

F is a binomial variable

A line is drawn through (–4, 3) and (4, 3). Which describes whether or not the line represents a direct variation?

The line does not represent a direct variation because it does not go through the origin.
